Torsk (Scandinavian Cod)

Torsk (Scandinavian Cod)
Torsk is a Scandinavian dish of poached and broiled cod with butter. You can use frozen cod; defrosting is not necessary.

Set the broiler to high.

Grease a cookie sheet very lightly.

In a big saucepan, combine salt, sugar, and water.

Add the fillets to the water mixture; if necessary, add more water to completely cover the fillets.

Over a medium-high flame, bring water to a boil.

3 to 5 minutes of boiling.

Fillets should be taken out of the water and dried on paper towels.

Paprika is sprinkled after 6 tablespoons of melted butter have been applied.

For 8 to 10 minutes per inch of thickness, broil fillets in a preheated broiler until they are golden brown.

Using the remaining melted butter, serve
