Ingredients
  

  • 600 grams salmon fillet
  • 50 grams sea salt
  • 20 grams brown sugar
  • 1 lemon
  • 3 grams black peppercorns
  • 600 grams potatoes
  • 5 eggs
  • 300 millilitres heavy cream (35%)
  • 60 grams butter
  • 20 grams dill
  • White pepper from the mill
  • Sea salt to taste

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Oven-Safe Baking Dish
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Whisk
  • Peeler

Method
 

  1. Start by seasoning the salmon fillet. In a small bowl, combine the sea salt and brown sugar. Rub this mixture evenly over the salmon and let it sit for about 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  3. While the salmon is curing, peel and slice the potatoes thinly. Set the sliced potatoes aside.
  4. After the salmon has cured, rinse it under cold water to remove excess salt. Pat it dry and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the salmon.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream. Season with white pepper and more sea salt if needed.
  6. In a greased baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes, half the chopped salmon, and some dill. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  7. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients. Use a fork to press down the layers.
  8. Dot the top with butter and bake for about 45-50 minutes or until golden and set.
  9. Let the Laxpudding cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm, garnished with additional dill if desired.

Notes

  • Slice the potatoes thinly to ensure even cooking.
  • Don't skip the curing step for enhanced flavor.
  • Check for doneness with a knife; it should come out clean.
  • Let it cool slightly before slicing to maintain its shape.
