Salmon burgers
These are really easy to make and very delicious.
Ingredients:
200 g fresh salmon
1 red chili
1 yellow onion
Juice of ½ lime
A handful of fresh dill
2 slices of white bread
1 egg
1 tablespoon of whip cream
Salt and Pepper
Instructions:
Finely chop the onion, chili and dill and put it in a bowl. Break the bread into big crumbs and put that, along with the egg, whip cream and salt and pepper and juice of the lime, into the bowl as well. If the salmon has any skin or bones, remove that. Chop the salmon into 4 – 5 centimeter big cubes and the put them in a blender for about 15 – 20 seconds. Put the salmon the bowl with the other ingredients. Stir thoroughly. Put the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes. Fry big tablespoons of the salmon-mix in a pan for approximately 2 – 3 minutes on each side.
Serve with parsley mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam to make it as Swedish as possible (;

PANNA COTTA
I made this panna cotta a few days ago. It’s terribly delicious and very easy to make!
Ingredients:
3 dl whip cream
0,5 dl sugar
0,5 vanilla pod
2 gelatin leaves
0,5 teaspoon cardamom
Put the gelatin leaves in a bowl of cold water for 5-6 minutes. Pour the cream, along with the sugar and seeds from the vanilla pod and cardamom, into a pot. Let it come to a boil. Take the pot away from the stove. Squeeze out all the water from the gelatin leaves and put them in the pot. Stir carefully for a couple of minutes until the gelatin leaves have melted. Pour into small glasses and put them in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
It tastes the best if you eat it with fesh strawberries.. just sayin.
