Method

Preparation of Mashed Potato Blend

  1. 1

    Cook Potatoes

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the chopped potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

  2. 2

    Mash Potatoes

    Add butter, milk, crumbled bacon, and sauerkraut to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Cooking Vegetables

  1. 3

    Blanch Broccoli

    In a small pot, bring water to a boil. Add broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green. Drain and set aside.

Preparing the Seafood

  1. 4

    Prepare Beer Batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in beer until smooth.

  2. 5

    Batter and Fry Cod

    Dip cod fillets into the beer batter, allowing excess to drip off. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the battered cod until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 6

    Cook Shrimp

    In the same pan, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.

Making the Garlic Dill Cream Sauce

    In a bowl, combine sour cream, minced garlic, chopped dill, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.

Frying Capers

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, layer a generous serving of mashed potato blend, top with blanched broccoli, then add fried cod, shrimp, and slices of smoked salmon. Drizzle with garlic dill cream sauce and garnish with fried capers.
