About the dish

A simple but flavorful flounder dish from the fish chapter of Stor kokebok (1914). The fillets are half-cooked, turned in a seasoned herb butter, and finished slowly – a technique that gives very moist fish.

How to make it

1
Pre-cook the fillets
Cut out the fish fillets, sprinkle a little salt over them, and half-cook them in the white wine or fish stock – preferably in an ovenproof dish. Let the fish cool.
2
Herb butter
Stir the butter with the finely chopped vegetables (onion, parsley, and mushroom or celery) and season with salt and pepper.
3
Turn and finish
Turn the pieces of fish in the butter mixture, set them back over the heat, and add a couple of deciliters of bouillon. Let the dish cook slowly until the fish is cooked through.
4
Serving
Serve the fish in the stock it was cooked in, and garnish with lemon slices and tomatoes.

Changes from the original
