👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2
In a large saucepan, melt 50g butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sliced leek and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute to cook the raw flour taste.
4
Gradually whisk in the milk and fish stock (or water) until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. This should take about 5-8 minutes.
5
Stir in the chopped dill and parsley, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
6
Gently fold in the fish pieces and the cubed rye bread into the sauce. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
7
In a small bowl, combine the rye bread crumbs with the 15g of butter, melted. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.
8
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
9
Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

💡 전문가 팁

✓Ensure the rye bread is slightly stale for better texture in the casserole.
✓If you don't have fish stock, vegetable stock or water can be used, but fish stock will add more depth of flavor.
✓For a richer flavor, a splash of white wine can be added when sautéing the vegetables.
