Flavor Profile
Lutefisk has a mild flavor, and uniquely buttery texture. The flavor is quite unassuming, but the texture, often compared to gelatin, is polarizing.
Cooking Tips & Recipes
The unique texture of the fish severely limits the number of viable cooking methods. Traditionally, Lutefisk is either baked, or boiled in salt water.
Old Fashioned Boiling
1. Combine 2 quarts of water with 1.5 TBS salt
2. Bring to a boil, then add fish (fresh / thawed if frozen)
3. Cook 8-11 minutes or until fish flakes (cook to internal temp of 140F)
4. Remove fish from water, season to taste, and serve immediately (commonly served with melted butter or cream sauce)
