Swedish Sunday: Lax i majonnas



Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the kitchen, the calander turns and suddenly it's SWEDISH SUNDAY. Hide the women and children and brace for deep cholesterol impact! Today's treat comes to us from the ocean via Best Foods.

Salmon in Mayonnaise Lax i majonnas

1 pound fresh salmon
court bouillon
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise thinned with 1/3 cup white wine

Garnish:
sliced mushrooms
lettuce

Clean salmon, place in kettle and cover with cold court bouillon. Let simmer ten minutes. Take up fish, remove bones and skin and put fish back into stock to cool. Arrange fish on serving dish, cover with mayonnaise and garnish with sliced mushrooms and lettuce.

(chef's aside: I had to hit google to find out what the hell Court Boullion was, as Swedish Smorgasbord provides no internal hints. I guess REAL Swedes don't need to ask.)

bon appatite!
