There’s something grounding about a recipe that comes with a coastline. This fish casserole, shared straight from a family cabin in Norway’s Flatanger archipelago, is more than comfort food—it’s a slice of place. With cod caught in the winter winds and vegetables grown in some of the country’s richest soil, the dish blends simplicity with heart. It’s easy to make, hard to mess up, and perfect for any season. Even skeptics will find something to love in its creamy, savory warmth.
And while we don’t have cod, there are a lot of North Dakota freezers filled with fresh water white fish. If you’re open to new takes on favorite food inspired by the old country, you’ll appreciate this recipe served up by Line Klevmo Beumer with the Norwegian American.
