Smørrebrød – Fiskefilet med Remoulade (Flounder with Remoulade)

January 24, 2011 by mydanishkitchen

Smørrebrød – Fiskefilet

Smørrebrød is a very important part of traditional Danish cuisine. Basically it’s an open-faced sandwich which starts with the base of bread and butter and then it is topped off, in an artful fashion, with varying ingredients which compliment each other.

Ingredients:

For the Flounder Filet:

4 Flounder Filets (or however many you’re making)

1 egg, lightly beaten

plain bread crumbs

salt and pepper

extra virgin olive oil, for frying

For the Smørrebrød:

1 slice Rye bread, or toast if you prefer

butter, at room temperature

lettuce

flounder filet, hot off pan or warmed up

Remoulade (see recipe)

Capers

Dill, for garnish

lemon wedges

Directions:

Lightly beat the egg. In a shallow dish mix bread crumbs with salt and pepper. Dip each flounder filet in the egg, then turn the flounder in the bread crumbs covering both sides. Place oil in pan and heat to medium-high. Brown flounder on both sides and place on paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Butter bread (if desired). Top with lettuce, flounder, remoulade, capers and dill. Squeeze lemon over fish and enjoy.

    I love your blog. It’s great to see somebody share their passion for Danish food and tradition. I am a Danish Canadian and have been compiling my own favorite recipes for smorrebrod. If you are interested, please check them out at:

    By the way, I really liked the way you used the series of photos to show how to build the sandwich!

    Hi Gitte!

    Do Danish people ever toast their Smørrebrød bread or just pile the topping on soft, fresh bread?

    Thanks!

      Hi Gabriela, most Smørrebrød are made using the dark Rye bread which is firm and dense. Rye bread is not a type of bread that you would ever toast. But if you make it with white bread and you prefer it toasted, then I would say “go for it” 🙂 Make it the way you like it.

    This is going right to my Lenten files . . . right around the corner. But it looks so good, and so perfect,I may not wait till Lent. And I agree about the rye bread. A fave.
