23 Sep 2015 Chocolate Fsh

Ok, not really, but the rub does have cocoa in it.
I thought I found the original recipe on a Scandinavian site but I cannot seem to find it again.
It appears many cultures have a cocoa rub for fish. This is my version.

Sprinkle the spices on white fish fillets and rub it in.
Then put it in a 425 oven for about 10-15 minutes-depending on the thickness of your fish.
As soon as it flakes with a fork, remove and serve immediately.

We ate it with baked butternut squash, rubbed with cinnamon, brown sugar and stuffed with cranberries. And some fresh bread.

On your silpat/cookie sheet, sprinkle the following spices on both sides of the fish then rub it all in. I am generous with the cocoa powder and then I add in decreasing amounts as the list goes down.

Unsweetened cocoa powder
allspice
cumin
paprika
dry mustard
salt
pepper
brown sugar
opt. cayenne pepper or chili powder

(you will know you used enough when you cannot see any white after you rub it in)
It is almost forms a crust and keeps the fish very moist on the inside.
Best served hot.

Experiment and see how strong you like it and what spices you like best.

Nicola's Fisk

Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked! [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.] Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide. Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese. {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent] Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

Swedish almond cake = nötkaka

How did I miss putting this recipe on here years ago?! There are several versions. The original here is from the Swedish classic Sju Sorters Kakor. For presentation it is baked in a special ribbed pan - widely available and not expensive - called a Swedish/Rehrucken/Almond cake loaf pan. They are about 4.75 x 12.25 inches & 2 inches deep. It also works in a similarly sized baking dish or cake round, you just won't have the ribbed design. Prepare cake pan with a light coating of oil or oil spray, as you want to be able to invert it after baking to present it with the pattern. Sprinkle sliced almonds into the bottom of the pan before pouring the batter into it. Recipe: Beat together until light and fluffy = "vit och skummig": 2/3 c - 1 1/4 c unbleached cane sugar (depending on how sweet you want it) 1/2 c softened unsalted butter Beat in, one at a time: 1 egg & 2//3 c milk OR 2 eggs Combine the dry ingredients: 1 1/2 t almond e...
