Fish burger with a norwegian touch

I have good memories of Norway, and my live has been connected with it in some ways, when I moved for first time to Spain I lived with a norwegian family for one year in Valencia, I met a good friends from there, and also I won a trip around this country, from Oslo to Bodø. Yep, I know Norway more than my country.

Some people say that norwegian cuisine is boring, maybe is because they haven't tried authentic food, that's why I like to eat home food, I had the chance to do it, and the tasty experience was unforgettable.

I decided to make a burger that reminds me Norway, and I think this recipe is an example of that. This recipe is a combination of sensations and flavors, the pollock fish will be made as crunchy as possible but keeping the soft texture inside it , and the mousse will be the cold and soft complement.

Breaded fish burger with salmon mousse

for 2 people

/////Breaded fish and burger ingredients:

-1 Teaspoon paprika

-1 Teaspoon oregano

-1 salt (to taste)

-1 cup chopped peanuts (chopped in a mortar)

-1 tablespoon breadcrumbs

-200grs pollock fish (or halibut or hake) cut

-Olive oil

-Burger bread

-Avocado

-Carrot

-Red onion

Procedure:

Mix all the spices and the peanut in a bowl, dip the fish into the mixture and roll it.

fry them in a hot pan with a tablespoon of oil and seal them in all the sides for 3-4 minutes, and that's all.

/////Salmon mousse:

- 300 grams smoked salmon

- 125 grams meierismør (its 100% butter from cow, no oils from plants)

- 5 dl sour cream

- 125 grams lodderogn/ cod roe

- Salt and pepper to taste

How to do it:

Put the smoked salmon in the food processor and blend until smooth. Then add the soft or melted butter, sour cream and salt and pepper. A little salt will do since the roe and the salmon is salt as it is, maybe you wont need any salt at all. When its all a smoothe mix, add the cod roe and mix slowly and carefully with a spoon or something to not break the roe. Cover up and refrigerate overnight in a form that gives it the shape you want. Because it contains a lot of fat, it will be firm after a while in the fridge.

Special thanks to Linnéa's grandma that gave me this tasty mousse recipe.

Finally, build the burger adding over the fish a red onion with carrot, avocado strips and the mousse.

Catalonian "rossejat" noodles and peanut crispy fish

Living in Catalonia (Spain) has been the best place to experiment all kind of mediterranean food, Noodles (or fideus in catalan) were invented by Italians, but catalans adapted perfectly with their cuisine.

In catalan, "rossejat" means toasted, and I was told this recipe is from the south of Catalonia,

I'm gonna improvise this dish, add a little changes in the easy way of course but im sure catalan people wont be offended. And the breaded fish will be tasty and crunchy complement for this mediterranean recipe.
