Fish is traditionally served on Good Friday.
Reason enough to take a closer look at a North German classic with fried potatoes and mustard sauce.
You’ve probably heard the saying “Friday is fish day,” right?
This tradition actually goes back to one of the most important Christian holidays, Good Friday.
This is considered the highlight of Lent and by abstaining from meat, many Christians commemorate the sufferings of Jesus when he was crucified.
Regardless of whether you are a believer or not, we use the occasion for a delicious fish dish from northern Germany: Hamburg panfish with fried potatoes and mustard sauce.
That's how it's done:
You need these ingredients:
Fish:
600g
Fish fillet (e.g. cod, pollack, redfish)
60g flour
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp clarified butter
Fried potatoes:
800g potatoes
150g onions
2 tbsp clarified butter
Mustard sauce:
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp wheat flour
300 ml milk
200 ml vegetable broth
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 pinch of sugar
1 tbsp mustard
1 tbsp grainy mustard
Aside from that:
dill, to taste
Pickles, to taste
And this is how easy it is to prepare:
For the fish:
Wash the fish fillets, pat dry and cut into pieces.
On a plate, season the flour with salt and pepper.
Turn the fish fillets in it on all sides.
Shake off excess flour.
For the fried potatoes:
Wash the potatoes, cook them in their skins for approx. 20 minutes, peel them, let them cool and cut them into slices.
Halve, peel and slice onions.
For the mustard sauce:
Melt the butter in a saucepan.
Add flour and fry briefly.
Deglaze with vegetable broth and milk while stirring.
Season with salt, pepper, lemon juice and two kinds of mustard, bring to the boil and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of clarified butter in a pan.
Fry the potatoes and onions over medium heat until the potato slices are well browned.
Salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of clarified butter in another pan.
Fry the fish fillets on both sides until golden brown and remove.
Serve the panfish with fried potatoes and mustard sauce and garnish with dill and pickles if desired.
So delicious!
The recipe for Hamburger Panfish is Nordic-style delicious.
