Smørrebrød – Røget Laks (Smoked Salmon)

Smørrebrød with Smoked Salmon and Caviar

Smørrebrød with Smoked Salmon and Caviar

I think we are overdue for another piece of Smørrebrød (Danish open faced sandwich) and lets make it a festive one. I love smoked salmon and I love caviar. Of course I don’t use expensive caviar, just good old Lumpfish, and so for the purpose of this post we’ll leave the expensive stuff for the Czars and the Royals. But I am picky about my smoked salmon. I don’t care for salmon that is too soft in texture, I prefer for it to be firm and not fall apart when I separate the slices. There is nothing worse than mushy salmon. The mustard I used was a Swedish mustard with dill, but any sweet mustard will do. Happy New Years to all of you!

Smørrebrød with egg and tomato

Here is a piece of smørrebrød (classic Danish open-faced sandwich) which I think is perfect for this time of year, Spring! It’s made with egg and tomato, my two favorite sandwich ingredients, but also with salad shrimp, cucumber and lumpfish caviar. This is so perfect for a beautiful spring day, eaten in the warm sun and enjoyed it with an ice cold beer (or your other favorite beverage). If you need a recipe to make your own Rugbrød (Rye bread), I have one with a sour dough starter and one without sour dough.

Karrysalat – Curry salad

Karrysalat - Danish Curry Salad

Karrysalat – Danish Curry Salad

I never liked Danish Karrysalat until I made a homemade version to serve at my Danish Christmas luncheon. You may ask, why did I make it in the first place if I knew I didn’t like it. Well traditionally Karrysalat is a classic topping for marinated herring and marinated herring is a “must” at any self-respecting Danish Christmas luncheon table. And when I tasted my homemade Karrysalat I was instantly hooked because it is so much better than the store-bought kind. Like I mentioned, it’s is served with marinated herring on top of Rugbrød (dark Rye bread) but I could eat it on top of just about any kind of lunch meat. This is super delicious and I recommend that you whip up a batch immediately and enjoy. 🙂

Smørrebrød – med Sild (with Marinated Herring)

Posted in Danish, Seafood, Smørrebrød, tagged , , , , , on August 27, 2012| 7 Comments »

Smørrebrød med Sild

It’s been a while since I’ve made a piece of traditional Danish Smørrebrød. This is marinated Herring which is not only super delicious but also high in Omega-3 fatty acids and therefor good for you. Herring is immensely popular in Scandinavia and it can always be found on a festive luncheon menu. You can buy Herring in different marinates such as mustard, cream, curry, wine or spiced sauces. For this particular Smørrebrød I used Herring in a wine sauce, which I adore, and I paired it with onions, capers and some wonderful fresh dill.

Smørrebrød – med Sild

Ingredients:

1 slice Rugbrød (dark Rye bread)

butter for bread, optional

Boston lettuce

marinated herring in wine sauce

red onion, diced

dill

capers

Directions:

Finely dice red onion, set aside. Butter bread if desired. Place lettuce on bread and top with marinated herring. Arrange red onions, dill and capers in a decorative fashion. Smørrebrød is enjoyed with a cold beer and Akvavit snaps. Enjoy!

Smørrebrød – med Rejer

Sometime during the Fall Joe and I stopped in at one of my favorite stores IKEA to do some shopping. Of course we had to have lunch at Ikea…its a must, you know.  They had a wonderful piece of Smørrebrød loaded with egg and shrimp, simply delicious. And so this is my recreation of that wonderful piece of Smørrebrød. It has since then become a weekend lunch favorite at our house. Enjoy.

Ingredients:

1 slice Rugbrød (dark Rye bread)

butter (at room temperature)

lettuce

1 hard-boiled egg, sliced

salad shrimp

1 tablespoon lemon juice

salt and pepper

mayonnaise

Directions:

Place salad shrimp in a small bowl and toss with lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread a thin layer of butter onto rugbrød (if desired) and place lettuce on top. Then top with sliced egg, shrimp and mayonnaise. Enjoy.

Smørrebrød – Fiskefilet med Remoulade (Flounder with Remoulade)

Posted in Danish, Seafood, Smørrebrød, tagged , , , , , , on January 24, 2011| 14 Comments »

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.
