Salmon Pudding - Laxpudding (Swedish classic)

SALMON PUDDING
Laxpudding

Salmon pudding is an old-fashioned Swedish Classic that belongs to the traditional home cooking. It's easy to make and minds its own business in the oven. A good dish to make when you have guests, if they like salmon.

Serves 4

Approx 7 oz cured salmon or trout
10 to 12 middle-sized potatoes
1 leek
coarsely ground white or black pepper

Egg cover:
4 eggs
1.6 cup milk


Quickly rinse the fish, then leave it in cold water for about 8 hours, depending on how salty it is. If it's lightly cured 4 hours will be enough.

Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. Rinse and shred the leek. Cut the fish in thin slices and cut the slices in smaller pieces. Grease an oven-proof pan and alternate layers of potatoes, onions and fish in it. Flavor with pepper between the layers. The top layer should be potatoes.

Beat together eggs and milk and pour this over it all. Bake the pudding in the oven, starting at 390F, for about 40 minutes. Increase the heat to 440F and bake for Another 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender, the "omelette" has set and the dish is nicely colored.

Serve with melted butter.

Enjoy!
