Torsk is broiled and buttered cod fillets. This recipe uses frozen fish; defrosting is not necessary. Make sure to use butter. There it too much water in margarine.
INGREDIENTS (for 6 servings):
- 6 (6 ounce) fillets cod
- 6 cups water
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 1 1/2 cups butter, melted
- 1 dash paprika
PREPARATION:
Preheat broiler. Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
Place the fish in a large saucepan. Mix together the water, sugar, and salt. Pour the water-mixture over the fish. The water-mixture should fully cover the fish, if it doesn't add more water. Bring the water to a boil over a medium-high heat. Boil for 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove fillets from water, and blot on paper towels to remove excess water. Brush with 6 tablespoons melted butter, and sprinkle with paprika.
Broil for 8 to 10 minutes per inch of thickness, or until the fillets are golden brown. Serve with the remaining melted butter.
