Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Lutefisk.
Step 1
Begin by filling a large pot with water and adding a generous pinch of salt.
Step 2
Heat the mixture until it reaches a vigorous boil.
Step 3
Once the water is bubbling energetically, gently introduce the dried lutefisk into the pot, allowing it to return to a boil.
Step 4
After the water resumes its rolling boil, take the pot off the heat, cover it, and let the lutefisk steep for eight minutes.
Step 5
After this time, check the lutefisk's internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer; it should register at 140°F (60°C) for perfect doneness.
Step 6
Using a scoop strainer or skimmer spoon, carefully lift the lutefisk from the pot, letting any excess water drain away.
Step 7
To finish, lavishly drizzle melted butter over the lutefisk and serve it hot, inviting everyone to savor this traditional delicacy.
Step 8
Enjoy the delightful flavors and the rich history behind this beloved dish!.
