I was at a nice restaurant recently whose menu focuses on traditional Scandinavian and french cuisine. One of the lunch items was Skagen, which my friend, who lived in Sweden for several years, had to have for nostalgic reasons… and also for the absolute delightful flavours! I’ve recreated this dish for my family and we like it for brunch or lunch! Easy to make and healthy! Enjoy to the soft, haunting music of Alice Boman, who is from Malmo, Sweden.
