Scandinavian seafood stew
A creamy casserole is good for the soul and this one is packed with bold, zesty flavours, too.
This light, creamy stew is ideal for the dinner table, or as a comforting pick-me-up
Serves 2
1 tbsp butter
1 small red onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
200ml white wine
200ml stock (we used half a veggie stock cube)
A pinch of saffron, plus extra to garnish
1 tsp of dijon mustard
2 fillets of salmon (260g all together)
200g cooked prawns
80g double cream
Zest of ½ lemon, plus lemon slices to garnish
1 tbsp dill
1 Melt the butter in a casserole dish over a medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook gently for around 5 mins, or until they soften.
2 Pour over the white wine and stock, add the saffron and mustard, then stir until mixed. Allow to gently bubble, which should take about 10 mins.
3 Add the salmon, cover, and cook for 5 mins before adding the prawns and cooking for a further 5 mins.
Stir through the cream, the lemon zest and half the dill and mix until well combined.
4 Season to taste and serve sprinkled with the rest of the dill and topped with a slice of lemon and a pinch of saffron threads.
