Fish gratin or known as fiskergrateng in Norwegian was another one of the Norwegian dishes I tried the other day. Absolutely scrumptious. Very creamy and delicious. This is a one-pot-dish you would love to eat. I think even people who don’t care much for fish dishes, won’t really notice the fish in there. This is easy to prepare and it’s pretty much a complete meal on its own!!
FISH GRATIN / FISKERGRATENG
Ingredients
- 3 spring onions
- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup macaroni noodles or other type of pasta (I used bow tie)
- 1 lb 5 oz (650 g) haddock fillet (cut into bite-size cubes)
- 4 Tbsp butter , unsalted
- 2 eggs (separate the yolks from the whites)
- 4 Tbsp flour
- 3 Tbsp bread crumbs
- 1 ¾ cups milk
- 1 ½ tsp nutmeg powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Coarsely chop the spring onions. Cook the macaroni noodles following the instruction on the package
- Melt butter in a saucepan, add the flour and stir milk in all at once. Use a wire whisk and whisk vigorously to make sure they are blending smoothly. Bring to a boil and lower the heat to let it simmer for 10 minutes. Add in the spring onions for the last 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Remove from the heat. Add the beaten egg yolks into the sauce while stirring at the same time to make sure they blend in
- Add the fish cubes and cooked macaroni noodles into the sauce. Mix gently to make sure all are covered with the sauce. Pour into a 8-9 inch-baking or casserole dish. Bake for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown
- Serve with melted butter immediately
