    By the way, for everyone who doesn't have a Valentine, I have your back, among other things. So, Happy Valentine's Day to you all. We had another great year together, and I feel like our love has never been stronger. Anyway, it might be the beer talking, but there isn't anyone I'd rather be with than you.

    Hey John! Being a Sandefjording, born and raised, I think you did well pronuncing the sauce pretty good:) I mean... "You are after all the Chef John of your pronunciajohn"!
    Long time subscriber and love your videos! Thanks:)

    You nailed it. Add some cream fresh to the potatoes and picle the cucumbers (vinegar, water and sugar) for 10 minutes before you serve, and you have a complete norwegian dinner..

    Fun fact, it's tradition to have a bucket of this stuff in the bedroom of your wedding night. No questions asked.
    Yes I'm Norwegian.

    Reducing the lemon juice is such a good tip! Just eaten this on a thick cod steak with braised endives. Heaven

    Nice reference to Viking's Ragnar Lothbrok, for us fans. And by the way, you're so much better than all those TV chefs with their fake smiles. We love you Chef Jon.

    im a Norwegian cheff, and i dont mind your reduction in the start, tho i do mind the cayenne, even tho i love cayenne i do like the taste of white or black pepper better in traditional dishes like this.

    I repeated you saying sandefjordsmor more times than I'm willing to admit. It made me so happy. Great video as always, chef!

    The other day while I watching your videos, I was thinking "This blog is so good! If only it had some Norwegian recipes too, it would truly be perfect". Thank you for the love declaration, Chef John!

    My Norwegian wife/boss approves of your video! And by the way, my Norwegian in-laws here in the US use Irish butter exclusively, so good call.

    • @justinm2697
      @justinm2697 8 років тому +2

      Could you ask you family something for me? In Australia I can get Lurpak brand butter from Denmark. I wonder what they think of that, or if they have tried it.

      They absolutely hate it.

    • @losttribe3001
      @losttribe3001 8 років тому +2

      Justin M I asked, but they hadn't. Keep in mind, they've been here for a few decades. I've sent feelers out to Norway, but can't guarantee anything. But I can tell you, that the Kerrygold (brand name of the Irish butter) has a higher fat content and is by grass-feed cows, just has a better taste. I would imagine Danish butter would be great. Good luck and cheers!

    • @Aki-ht8qb
      @Aki-ht8qb 8 років тому +2

      losttribe3001 i think I have heard that we got some of the world's best butter here in Denmark. I have not paid it much attention when I travel but I always think pastry and other butter heavy things tested better here but I'm Danish so it might just be because this is what I am used to.

    Gods, now my mouth is watering. You know, in my family we only make this sauce for Christmas day. That's the level of respect and indulgence it has. ;)
    Also, I've never had this sauce for any other fish than cod, and steeped cod at that. I'll have to try it with salmon one day.

  • @AmyinOslo

  • @mrdasilver
    @mrdasilver 8 років тому +11

    Another great alternative to Irish butter, which is actually my absolute favorite butter, would be a Danish butter known by the brandname of Lurpak. You can find it at almost any grocery store. And it's almost as good as Irish butter. :)

    Oh, and the Vikings overran Ireland a long time ago, so Irish butter is just Norwegian butter with an accent.

    This looks like it is almost Bearnaise sauce (being mainly butter + an acid + an herb that could be tarragon). Is there a reason that this is a fish sauce, but Bearnaise is a steak sauce?
    And cool video! I want to try this.

  • @wait...what...
    @wait...what... 8 років тому +5

    I tried this sauce but alas, I failed. I guess the juice of two lemons is subjective. I had wayyyyy too much lemon juice and by the time I got to the end, it was too tart and I didn't know how to save it. I tried more cream and butter but it was not enough. Any other way I could've saved the sauce? I will only use 1 lemon next time.

    @maiken3097 8 років тому +1

    Joining the norsky crew of super excited and proud youtube commentators :) Also.. pretty sure sandefjordsmør a.k.a. persillesmør is made with meierismør. So salted butter all the way! I dont even think we have unsalted..? Or.. we do but probably twice the price? (just stay away from kviteseidsmør ;) ) Its funny how many recipes calls for unslated butter AND salt...

  • @HrHaakon
    @HrHaakon 8 років тому +2

    Closest thing to Norwegian butter is probably Normandy butter. That tastes close, with the same nutty taste. I haven't tried Irish butter though.
