How to Make Norwegian Fish Mousse Fiskepudding

  1. Rinse and pat dry 1 lb (450g) fish fillets. Remove any skin and finely mince the fish using a sharp knife. Mince several times for a smooth yet textured consistency. (Alternatively, pulse briefly in a food processor, being careful not to over-process.)
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the minced fish with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, 1/4 tsp grated nutmeg, and 2 tbsp potato flour. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Vigorously stir the fish mixture. Slowly incorporate 1/2 cup (120ml) milk and 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream, beating constantly until well combined.
  4. Generously butter a 2 1/2-3 pint (1.5-1.8 liter) oblong baking dish. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp breadcrumbs, coating the bottom and sides.
  5. Pour the fish mousse into the prepared dish, filling it about 3/4 full.
  6. Cover the dish tightly with buttered aluminum foil.
  7. Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan. Carefully pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish (bain-marie).
  8. Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for approximately 1 hour, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Carefully remove the fiskepudding from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  10. Invert the baking dish onto a serving platter to unmold the mousse.
  11. Garnish with cooked shrimp and fresh parsley.
  12. Serve immediately with your choice of hollandaise or mustard sauce. Enjoy hot or at room temperature!
