List of ingredients

2x 100 g. (3 ½ oz.) cod fillets with the skin

2x 100 g. (3 ½ oz.) Arctic char fillets with the skin

1 tbs. flour

1 cucumber

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. sugar

3 tsp. mustard seeds

3 tbs. apple vinegar

1 egg yolk

2 tbs. cucumber juice

2-3 dl. (7-10 fl.oz.) neutral vegetable oil

Salt and pepper to taste

PREPARATION:

• Peel the cucumber lengthwise using a cheese slicer, leaving some of the peel on.

• Slice the cucumber into a jar with a lid.

• Add salt and sugar, put the lid on the jar and shake it until the salt and sugar are evenly distributed.

• Lightly crush the mustard seeds in a mortar.

• Place the vinegar and half of the mustard seeds in the jar with the cucumber and mix well.

• Put the egg yolks and cucumber juice in the mortar with the mustard seeds. Mix well.

• Whisk in the oil, initially one drop at a time, and then trickle it in. Continue until a thick sauce is formed.

• Sprinkle the flour over the skin side of the fillets and fry in neutral frying oil in a hot pan until the fish is a nice golden brown colour on both sides and the meat flakes away when you prick it with a fork.

• Serve the fish with the mustard mayonnaise and the cucumber salad.
