Ingredients

Preparation

Potato-Broccoli Puree

  • Trim the stems of the broccoli. Steam until tender, then mash.
  • Boil the potatoes until tender, then mash.
  • Combine the broccoli and potato mash, then stir in butter and milk or half & half. Season with salt and pepper, and keep warm.

Salmon

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Melt butter and pour over the butterflied Norwegian Salmon. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake salmon for about 12 minutes, or to desired temperature.
  • Stuff a small amount of potato-broccoli puree into each piece and add a spoonful of salmon roe, if using, on top. Serve on top of remaining puree. 

Serving Suggestion: Finish with a drizzle of browned butter. Garnish with steamed broccoli florets. Make a Nordic "shepherd's pie" with the ingredients, adding a nice crunchy topping like crushed potato chips.
