Time 1h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 dash white pepper
1 dash nutmeg
3 eggs, Divided
1 1/2 cups fish, cooked (cod, halibut, tilapia, or whatever you like)
1 cup macaroni, cooked
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
1/2-1 cup chopped vegetables (optional, use what you like)

Steps:

Melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour, and then add the milk, stirring all the while. (If the milk is slightly heated it's easier to get this lump-free!) Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for a couple of minutes, then add the spices. Then pull off of the heat and let the sauce/base cool for a bit.
Stir in egg yolks, cooked fish, cooked macaroni, and any veggies that you want to add (chopped leeks, grated carrots, or peas would be good!)
Beat the egg whites until they're stiff, then carefully fold this into the fish mixture. Put it in a well-greased casserole dish and sprinkle bread crumbs over the top.
Bake at 375 F for 40-50 minutes. When done, the casserole should be firm all the way through.
Enjoy!

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 -1 1/2 lb of firm white fish fillet (halibut, or ling cod work well)
salt
pepper
1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced and seperated into rings
1 -1 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt butter and blend in the lemon juice and sour cream.
Salt and pepper the fish to taste and place in a casserole dish.
Spread the onion rings evenly on top.
Pour the sour cream mixture over fish, spread evenly and top with the cheese.
Bake for 35 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork.

Tips:

Select fresh fish. The fresher the fish, the better the casserole will taste. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has bright, clear eyes.
Use a variety of fish. Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of fish in your casserole. This will give the dish a more complex flavor.
Don't overcook the fish. Fish cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and dry.
Use a creamy sauce. A creamy sauce will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful. You can use a simple white sauce or a more flavorful sauce, such as a mushroom sauce or a tomato sauce.
Add vegetables. Vegetables will add color, texture, and flavor to your casserole. You can use any type of vegetables that you like, such as broccoli, carrots, celery, or peas.
Top with cheese. Cheese will help to brown the top of the casserole and give it a delicious flavor. You can use any type of cheese that you like, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan.

Conclusion:

Norwegian Fish Casserole is a simple yet delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover fish, and it is also a healthy and affordable meal.
