Fiskekaker

A Scandinavian dinner built around white fish and heavy cream — on the table in 40 minutes.

✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb White fish
• 1/2 cup Heavy cream
• 3 tbsp Potato starch
• 2 Egg whites
• 3 tbsp Butter
• 1 Lemon
• 2 tbsp Chives

Steps

1. Blend the very cold fish with salt into a sticky paste — cold is critical for the bouncy texture.
2. Work in the cream, starch, and egg whites; the farce should be smooth and hold a quenelle.
3. Form patties with wet hands and fry in butter 3–4 minutes per side until golden.
4. Serve with lemon, chives, and boiled potatoes; Norway's fish cakes should bounce, not crumble.
5. The farce can be made a day ahead — it actually fries up better after resting overnight.
