Oven pancake with smoked rainbow trout
Oven pancake with smoked rainbow trout is egg batter in a tray, not fish pie with a lid and not omelette in a frying pan. The fish is already smoked. Dill and lemon after the oven. One tray feeds four.
How you do it
The batter
Flour, milk, eggs, salt. Smooth, not thick like waffle batter. Rest while the oven heats so the lumps of flour let go.
The tray
Plenty of butter, or the edges stick. Batter in. Fish on top, not whisked in — then it sinks and turns grey.
The oven
225 °C until it has puffed and taken spots of colour. It sinks when you take it out. That is the point. Dill and lemon while it still steams.
Serving
Squares, stirred lingonberries if you want acid against the smoke, or a dollop of crème fraîche. Cold the next day in a lunch box.
Tips
Go easy on salt in the batter if the fish is heavily smoked. Fresh fish: fry first. Smoke it yourself: smoked rainbow trout.
FAQ
Can I use fresh pan-fried fish?
Yes, but then you miss the smoke. Fry the fillet first according to <a href="/tillaga/stekt-regnbage">pan-fried rainbow trout</a> and add cold pieces so they do not break up in the batter.
Is it the same as omelette?
No. <a href="/tillaga/omelett-regnbage">Omelette</a> is a pan and two people. Here it is oven, flour and a tray for four.
Do I need to freeze the smoked fish?
Hot-smoked fish is cooked through. Cold-smoked should have been frozen according to <a href="/tillaga/kallrokt-regnbage">cold-smoked rainbow trout</a>.
