SWE-Dishes: Wine And Cream-Cooked Cod

When we start thinking about Swedish dishes, one of the first proteins that comes to mind is fish. In an interview we did with Chef Ulrika Berglund, we talked Swedish dishes, cooking for kids and how to incorporate flavors and foods into dishes for picky eaters.

Originally, she told us that kåldomar (cabbage rolls) were her favorite dish, but after digesting her response, she followed up with this dish – and recipe – that uses fresh cod, dill, wine, cream, potatoes and lemon. Our mouths are watering already.

1.5 lb. of cod

2. Fine chop the baby dill; reserve some for garnish.
