Ingredients

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 220 °C.
  • Place the portions of skrei on an ovenproof dish or tray. Pat the skrei pieces dry with kitchen paper.
  • Mix together all the ingredients for the sauce and put 1-2 tablespoons of sauce onto each piece of skrei.
  • Place the skrei on the second-to-top rack in the preheated oven. Let it cook for 6-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pieces. The Skrei is ready when it flake easily when pressed.

Crunchy red cabbage salad

  • Slice red cabbage, red onion, and bell pepper into fine strips and place them in a bowl.
  • Mix the ingredients for the sauce and pour it over the vegetables.
  • Mix the vegetables and sauce together for 1 minute, and let it sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.
  • This salad can be prepared the day before and stored in the refrigerator.

Fluffy jasmine rice

  • Rinse the rice for 2 minutes in cold water.
  • In a pot, combine the rice, water, salt, and lime slices. Bring it to a boil with occasional stirring to prevent sticking to the bottom.
  • Once the rice has boiled, place a lid on the pot and reduce the heat.
  • Let the rice simmer under the lid for 15 minutes without stirring.
  • Remove the pot from the heat, take off the lid, discard the lime slices, and let the rice steam for an additional 5 minutes before adding the olive oil and gently fluffing the rice in the pot with a spatula.
  • Sprinkle chopped peanuts over the dish just before serving. Cashews nuts can also be used.

Tips: Avoid stirring the rice during the cooking process or too quickly after cooking to prevent it from forming a large sticky ball instead of fluffy rice.
