Directions

  1. Follow these steps: Peel the apples and cook them until they are tender (or peel them after cooking).
  2. Chop the onion and simmer it in a small amount of water (not too much, just enough to cover the onion) until it becomes translucent and tender.
  3. Add the cut-up cod (preferably frozen, skinless) and let it simmer with a little salt.
  4. Rule: A lot of onions, cod, and butter create a delicious flavor. ≈ 3 min
  5. Remove everything from the griddle and mix the apples, onion, and fish together. ≈ 3 min
  6. Gently stir until a thick and uniform consistency is achieved. ≈ 4 min
  7. Add the butter and let it melt, then pour in the milk and mix gently until you have a smooth consistency. ≈ 4 min
  8. Season with extra butter (a generous amount of butter adds a nice flavor), and optionally, a few tablespoons of sour cream. ≈ 2 min
  9. Also season with a little grated nutmeg and walnuts (essential), salt, and pepper. ≈ 2 min
  10. The fish should be firm enough so that it doesn’t fall apart on the fork. ≈ 3 min
  11. You can also decorate it with chopped chives or parsley. ≈ 2 min
