This Fish Stew From Iceland Is One Of The Best Icelandic Recipes!

The fish stew pictured above is not just any fish stew. This is Icelandic fish stew (with a bit of a twist). Now, Icelanders know a thing about fish. Fish is one of the main foods that sustains Icelanders.

You'll absolutely want to make this dish for the following reasons:

• First off, it's simply delicious!
• It's super easy to make with only a few ingredients needed
• Hearty and comforting, this stew is perfect for warming up on a cold day
• It's rich and creamy with the addition of some Emmentaler cheese as well as cream
• Perfect for lovers of fish, especially cod or haddock!
• You'd like to try an awesome Icelandic recipe!

What Is Icelandic Fish Stew Called In Iceland?

Icelanders call this stew Plokkfiskur. Plokkfiskur actually means "plucked fish" and it is a very traditional dish in this magnificent North Atlantic island.

It is also called "Icelandic Fish Pie," and some versions I have seen are much more dense and casserole-like.

Whatever the name, this dish is significant to the people of Iceland. From grapevine.is: "at its essence, Plokkfiskur is about making the most of straightforward ingredients and providing something hearty and nourishing for hard-working people. Simple and satisfying, many would argue that Plokkfiskur is the best way to enjoy the catch of the day."

A Modern Take On Plokkfiskur

There are many versions of Plokkfiskur, however they pretty much all contain fish, onions, and potatoes.

I offer a modern take on Icelandic fish stew. In addition to the basics, I add some curry powder for a bit of a kick. And instead of milk, I include cream and some Emmentaler cheese for extra richness. 🧀

What Ingredients Are Needed To Make This Icelandic Recipe?

The ingredients you will need to make Plokkfiskur are:

• Cod (or haddock)
• Onions
• Baby potatoes (I used a colorful medley for extra appeal)
• Chicken or fish stock
• Cream
• Butter
• Curry powder (I highly suggest S&B Curry Powder)
• Emmentaler cheese
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)
• Green onions - as a garnish

Now all you need is about 30-40 minutes to get this hearty fish stew on the table to enjoy!

Easy Instructions!

Making Icelandic fish stew is SUPER EASY! Here we go!

Begin by placing your cod or haddock in a large skillet that has a cover. Add water to cover the fish, some salt, then bring to the boil and simmer on medium for around 10 minutes. When finished the fish will be nice and flaky.

While the fish is cooking, in a separate pot sauté diced onions in butter until softened. Then you will add the stock and potatoes. Bring this to the boil, and then simmer until the potatoes are fork tender (around 20 minutes).

Try to ensure that the potatoes are fairly uniform in size. If you are using baby potatoes, then you may need to cut any larger ones in half so that they are about the same size.

Lastly, it's time to add the fish and the wonderful seasonings and creamy ingredients!

Stir to combine, and get ready to feast on this DELISH fish stew!

What To Serve With Icelandic Fish Stew

I recommend recommend serving this hearty fish stew with bread and a lovely salad to go along with it.

This is a delightful fish stew which your whole family will love! Don't forget to garnish with some green onions. 😀

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 lb cod can also use haddock
• 1 onion large
• 1 lb baby potatoes I used a colorful medley! Try to keep the potatoes a uniform size, so you may need to cut some of the larger ones down. Can also use russet potatoes (peeled and cut into smallish pieces)
• 3.5 cups chicken or fish stock may add additional ½ cup to make 4 cups if you prefer more broth
• ½ cup heavy cream can use milk if you prefer

• 1 ts curry powder S&B is a great one to use!
• 1 cup Emmentaler cheese grated
• salt to taste and also to cook the fish wish

• green onions sliced as a nice garnish!

Instructions

 

• Begin by placing your cod or haddock in a large skillet that has a cover. Add water to cover the fish, and around ½ ts salt, then bring to the boil and simmer on medium (covered) for around 10 minutes. When finished the fish will be nice and flaky. Drain the water from the fish.
  
• While the fish is cooking, in a separate pot melt the butter on medium high heat. Add the diced onions and sauté around 5 minutes until softened.
  
• Then you will add the stock and potatoes. Bring this to the boil, and then simmer (uncovered) until the potatoes are fork tender (around 20 minutes).

• Enjoy this delicious and hearty stew with some nice crusty bread!
  

Notes

The nutrition information does not include salt that is added to taste and also assumes using unsalted broth.  

Feel free to substitute Jarlsberg for the Emmentaler if you wish.  You could lighten this up by subbing milk instead of cream.

If curry tastes are not your thing, by all means you can leave this out and just season with salt and pepper to taste.

Iceland is an island located in the North Atlantic Ocean. As you can imagine, fish is one of the main foods that sustains Icelanders. Here, I would like to share a simple recipe for a delicious Icelandic Oven Baked Fish.

Why Make This Fish?

You will absolutely want to make this fish if you:

• Desire a delicious meal!

Please allow me to show you how easy, quick and delicious this Icelandic Oven Baked Fish is!

🥘 What Ingredients Do I Need For This Dish?

The list of ingredients you will need is super short!

To make this delish fish dish you will need:

• White fish fillets - Pictured here is rainbow trout but I have also used cod which is great for this dish and is more traditional
• Emmentaler cheese (can sub Jarlsberg)
• Lemon
• Panko
• Dijon mustard
• Heavy Cream
• Butter or olive oil
• Fresh dill
• Salt and pepper

I promise the combination of these ingredients is so luscious! Now let's make some Icelandic Oven Baked Fish!

🔪The Method To Make This Wonderful Icelandic Recipe!

Start by preheating your oven to 350F. Next, season your fish fillets generously with salt and pepper. Place them in a baking tray which has been lined with aluminum foil and greased with a bit of butter or olive oil. Then pour freshly squeezed lemon juice over the fish.

Now add grated Emmentaler (or Jarlsberg) cheese.

Combine Dijon mustard, heavy cream, and fresh dill in a small bowl. Pour this over the cheese laden fish fillets.

The final step prior to baking is to add panko.

Now bake for around 30-35 minutes. The time needed to cook your fish will vary according to your oven and the thickness of the fish that you use. My thin rainbow trout took around 30 minutes to cook.

While it's baking, prepare yourself to enjoy a fantastic fish dish!

What To Serve With Icelandic Oven Baked Fish!

Ta da! Your fish is now ready to enjoy!

Be sure to have some extra wedges of lemon to squeeze over your fish, and garnish with extra dill if you have it.

I suggest some fluffy mashed potatoes to accompany your Icelandic fish masterpiece. Buttered egg noodles or roasted potatoes would also work well.

This dish has a light and delicate delicious flavor, and I dare say it melts in your mouth. The cheese and cream add an extra amount of decadence to this fish as well.

Homemade Sage and Onion Stuffing Is The Best!

Have you ever made your own homemade Sage and Onion Stuffing? If not I strongly urge you to do so because:

• Homemade stuffing is absolutely delicious!
• The aromas while baking this stuffing are amazing and will get you salivating!
• It's super satisfying, easy, and fun to make!

This stuffing will complement your holiday roasts or any of your delicious roasts throughout the year!

So, let's make some homemade Sage and Onion Stuffing!

What Ingredients Will I Need For This Sage and Onion Stuffing?

Here is what you will need to make your scrumptious homemade stuffing:

• Rustic sourdough bread (or other rustic bread)
• Celery
• Fresh sage
• Fresh thyme
• Garlic
• Onion
• Egg
• Turkey or chicken broth
• Onion
• Butter
• Salt
• Pepper
• Cayenne (just a pinch or more if you dare!)

There is so much herby goodness here with the sage as well as thyme! I prefer using fresh sage and thyme, however, you could substitute dried if you wish.

Now that we know what ingredients are needed, let's move on to see the easy method to make this homemade sage and onion stuffing.

The Method To Make This Perfect Accompaniment To A Roast!

We must sort out the bread to begin with. First you will cut the bread into small cubes. Then you can leave them out to air dry overnight, or you can toast them in a 250F oven for an hour or so until they are dried out.

Next we will sauté minced garlic, onion, and celery in butter until softened. Then we will add the thyme leaves and minced sage and stir until fragrant, then season with salt, pepper, and cayenne.

Now add the sage and onion mixture to the bread cubes in a large bowl. Whisk together the egg and broth, and then pour into the herb and vegetable mixture.

The final step before baking is to drizzle a generous amount of melted butter! Be generous, it's ok. 😊If the mixture seems too dry, you can add in a bit more broth prior to baking. You don't want the stuffing to be gummy, but you also don't want it too dry.

Now it's time to bake! Place the mixture into an 8"x8" baking pan which has been greased or lined with foil. Bake covered with foil at 350F for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, then bake for another 10 minutes or so until the top bread cubes are nice and toasty!

Be sure to enjoy the delicious herby aromas wafting through your kitchen as the stuffing bakes!

What To Serve Alongside Your Sage and Onion Stuffing

This stuffing is absolutely perfect to serve alongside your favorite roast! Here I show it served with a roasted goose which we enjoyed for Christmas dinner.

Honestly I love this stuffing so much that I could just eat gobs and gobs of it on its own!

I do hope you will treat yourself to some delicious homemade Sage and Onion Stuffing with your next roast! It's not just for the holidays. 😉

Prep Time 15 mins

Cook Time 52 mins

Toasting Bread Cubes 1 hr

Total Time 2 hrs 7 mins

Course accompaniment, Side Dish

Cuisine American, English

Servings 6 people

Equipment

• 1 8"x8" baking pan for baking the stuffing
• 1 Skillet or cast iron pan
• 1 baking sheet for toasting bread cubes

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• ½ lb rustic bread cut into small bite sized cubes; I used sourdough
• 1 onion diced
• 1 small handful fresh sage leaves can also sub 1 tablespoon dried
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme can also sub 1.5 ts dried
• 1 celery stalk diced
• 6 cloves garlic minced
• 1.25-1.5 cups turkey or chicken broth may need a little more or less depending on how dry your bread cubes are
• 1 egg
• ¼ ts salt or to taste
• ¼ ts pepper or to taste
• pinch cayenne pepper or to taste
• 5 tablespoon butter split (2 tablespoon for sautéing and 3 tablespoon for drizzling)

Instructions

 

• First you will cut the bread into small cubes. Then you can leave them out to air dry overnight, or you can toast them in a 250F oven for an hour or so until they are dried out. To toast the bread cubes, place them on a large baking sheet so that they don't crowd one another. Stir around every 20 minutes or so until they are toasted. Then increase your oven temperature to 350F for baking the stuffing.
  
• Next we will sauté minced garlic, onion, and celery in 2 tablespoon butter on a medium heat until softened for around 10 minutes. Then we will add the thyme leaves and minced sage and stir until fragrant (around 1-2 minutes), then season with salt, pepper, and cayenne.
  
• Now add the sage and onion mixture to the bread cubes in a large bowl.
  
• Whisk together the egg and broth, and then pour into the herb and vegetable mixture and combine.
  
• Drizzle 3 tablespoon of melted butter over the mixture and stir. At this point if the mixture seems too dry, you can add more broth a little at a time. We don't want the stuffing to be gummy, but we don't want it too dry either, so use your best judgement here.
  
• Place the mixture into an 8"x8" baking pan which has been greased or lined with foil. Bake covered with foil at 350F for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, then bake for another 10 minutes or so until the top bread cubes are nice and toasty! Taste and adjust for seasoning at this time.
  
• Your delicious Sage and Onion Stuffing is now ready to serve!
  

Notes

Enjoy the wonderful herby aromas as your stuffing bakes!

Probably the most critical step in getting this stuffing right is how much broth to add.  We don't want the stuffing to be gummy, but we also don't want it too dry.  So right before baking (just after drizzling the butter) if the mixture seems too dry you can add broth just a little at a time before baking. 

This is perfect to serve with your roasts at anytime of the year!
