Warm Haddock Salad

Print Recipe

Why a warm Haddock salad, you ask?

Well, simply because I love smoked haddock. It's one of the fish we like to find and order with my best friend, Dionen. Especially when it is accompanied by sauerkraut.

 

But I wanted to offer you something else. Hence the salad. With only three main ingredients; haddock, beet, and potatoes; you can create a real dish with a lot of flavors. And to embellish it a bit more, you will make a herb vinaigrette, with a drop of whisky.

Notes

  • If you want to cook your beets, here's how you can keep them tasty.
  • But cook them, 1h30 at 180°C in the oven on a foil. If you cook a lot of them, or if you want to add something to the recipe, you can cook them in a cast-iron casserole, on a bed of hay. Same cooking time and temperature.
  • Cool the fish in milk. This will allow it to desalinate slightly and give it a milky note. Dry it well before cutting it to put it in the salad.
  • If you can't find horseradish, you can replace it with wasabi. The two plants are related to each other. Or with old-fashioned mustard.
