Ingredients
Scale
- ½ yellow onion, diced
- 2 Tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter
- 3 medium leeks, rinsed and finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 Tablespoon tomato paste
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup (25 cl) white wine
- 1 ⅔ cup (40 cl) sour cream
- ¾ cup (20 cl) vegetable broth
- 0.5g saffron
- 0.6 lbs (300g) cod fillets, cut into chunks
- 0.6 lbs (300g) salmon fillets, cut into chunks
- 0.4 lbs (200g) shrimps, cooked
- 5.3 ounces (150g) parmesan cheese, shredded
- Fresh dill, to serve
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add onions, leeks, and sauté until soft. Add garlic and tomato paste. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour in the white wine, cream, and broth, and stir well. Stir in the saffron, bring to a boil then turn down the heat to a gentle simmer for 3-5 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, add a little bit more broth.
- Add one third of the sauce to a 12.5-inch (32 cm) baking form, then place the fish pieces and the shrimps on top. Cover with the remaining sauce, sprinkle parmesan cheese over and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
- Garnish with fresh dill and serve with a side of boiled potatoes like Swedes do (but you could also serve with a side of rice or linguine).
