Norwegian Lakserull with Beetroot
Lakserull is a Norwegian dish consisting of rolled-up smoked salmon and dill paste in a thin potato flatbread. We've created two delicious variations of this traditional recipe. The first version is a quick and easy option, using any thin flatbread you have on hand. The second version is a bit more time-intensive but transforms the dish into a hearty dinner by substituting the flatbread with potato fritters. Our signature spice blend enhances the dill flavor with fennel and adds a burst of color and taste with beetroot powder.
Ingredients
- 9 oz smoked salmon [1]
- 1.5 lb gold potatoes [2] peeled & grated
- 3 green onions, finely sliced [3]
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt [4]
Alternative Side
- any thin flatbread, for instance, tortilla
Culinary Spice Kit
- 1 pouch Beetroot powder, dill weed, fennel
Instructions
Prepare Beetroot Yogurt
- Mix the yogurt with the spices.
Option 1 - Potato Fritters
- In a large BOWL, combine the grated potatoes with eggs, flour, and salt to taste. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- In a PAN, heat 3 tablespoons of oil over medium heat.
- Pour a ladleful of the potato mixture into the pan and flatten it into a fritter about the size of your hand. Depending on the size of your pan, you should be able to fit two or three fritters at a time.
- Fry the fritters until they are golden brown on both sides, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
- Remove the fritters from the pan and drain on paper towels if necessary.
- Serve them topped with the salmon, sprinkled with green onions, and the spiced yogurt.
Alternative Quick Option 2 - Flatbread Rolls
- Spread a thin, even layer of yogurt on the flatbread.
- Add the salmon and sprinkle the onions on top.
- Roll the flatbread tightly and cut it into 3 to 4 cm pieces.
- Enjoy!
