Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

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.

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute to cook the raw flour taste.

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.

Stir in the chopped dill and parsley, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Gently fold in the fish pieces and the cubed rye bread into the sauce. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
đĄ Proffstips
- âEnsure the rye bread is slightly stale for better texture in the casserole.
- âIf you don't have fish stock, vegetable stock or water can be used, but fish stock will add more depth of flavor.
- âFor a richer flavor, a splash of white wine can be added when sautĂ©ing the vegetables.
