About the dish

The entry is more a lesson in presentation than a recipe, with three garnishing methods for the same topping.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Slices with scrambled egg

    Cut the salmon at a fairly sharp slant into thin slices and lay it on the buttered bread. Divide the slice on the slant and put a little scrambled egg on it.

  2. 2

    Cornet

    Or roll the salmon slice into a fairly flat cornet. Put a very little scrambled egg in the opening and tuck in a touch of greenery.

  3. 3

    Corkscrew

    Or take strips of smoked salmon and neat anchovy fillets, a centimetre wide, and twist them around each other like a corkscrew. Rub a hard-boiled egg yolk through a hair sieve directly onto the buttered slice of French bread.

Changes from the original

«Hårsikt» is rendered as a hair sieve (fine sieve). «Kremmerhus» is explained as a conical roll (cornet). The amount of scrambled egg is not given.
