I had some of my friends over for an easy lunch the other day. I came up with this idea after visiting our local fish market where I found fresh smoked wild salmon. To enhance the smoked flavor even more, I made fried smoked carrots. Wow, that I will definitely do again. I served the [...]
A couple of week ago, when I was in Sweden, my family and I ate one of my favorite dishes, fried cod back fillet. The cod back fillet is a real delicacy in Scandinavia. We don't flavor it more than necessary, which means only with salt and pepper. We make it simple and serve it [...]
We all have typical national food tastes we miss when we are away from home. The Danish remoulade sauce is one of the taste a Dane will miss when he or she goes abroad. Danish remoulade sauce is typically served on the iconic Danish open sandwich, together with fish and even on their hotdog. The [...]
This dish is a truly Scandinavian dish adapted to Florida. I found a sustainable sourced Rockfish fillet and have now learned that Rockfish is a broad name for over 70 variants of fish which are sometimes referred to as Snapper. The red Snapper is one of the Snapper you can find eastern Atlantic Ocean including [...]

It's when we celebrate the summertime is starting (after a long cold winter) together with friends and families. What we normally serve is different kinds of pickled [...]
Salmon is a very common fish in Scandinavia. Here in Florida, I try to eat fish after season. The assortment here is much wider than in Scandinavia. When buying salmon, I always try to buy wild salmon. I can not prove how much better it is to buy wild vs farmed salmon, but all information [...]
I think you already know by now that I love fish. We went to our local fish shop the other day and they had fresh mahi mahi fish which we bought. If you don't have mahi mahi in your local store, you can go for the one you find e.g. salmon. This marinade gives the [...]
My husband and I wanted something special for brunch the other day and I made Eggs Benedict. This is something I normally order in restaurants but not often make at home. But it's so delicious and now I will definitely do it more often. This time I made Eggs Benedict with salmon and avocado which [...]
