Crispy Panfried Whitefish – A Taste of the Wild from Finland

Wild food – berries, mushrooms, wild herbs, and vegetables, as well as fish, game, and reindeer – all hail from the pristine nature of Finland’s Arctic regions. When preparing whitefish, it's best to leave the skin on while frying. Not only does this keep the fish tender and juicy, but the crispy, well-seasoned skin adds an irresistible crunch that pairs perfectly with the delicate fish meat.

Serve this dish with mashed potatoes and a warm fennel and carrot salad sautéed in lemon butter for a meal that’s as comforting as it is flavorful.

• 600g whitefish fillets (2 fillets, approximately 300g each, scaled)

• 1 teaspoon sea salt

• 0.5 teaspoon sugar

• 0.5 teaspoon white pepper

• 0.5 teaspoon dried dill

• 1 teaspoon butter

• 1 teaspoon cooking oil

Whether you’re planning a cozy dinner at home or gathering for a special occasion, this dish will surely be a hit, creating unforgettable flavors and moments with those who matter most.
