Steps

  • Rub the cod with a mix of sugar and salt and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
  • Pat the fish dry and place in a tin with a juniper branch.
  • Light the juniper branch, cover the tin with foil, and smoke for 10 minutes.
  • Slice the cod into 5mm pieces and lightly brown with a blow torch.
  • Toss lettuce, apple, fennel, and dill in heavy cream and season with salt.
  • Boil potatoes until soft, then cool and mix with chopped cucumber, capers, sour cream, mayonnaise, and vinegar.
  • Boil sugar, vinegar, spices, and 100ml water to create a pickling liquid.
  • Whisk half of the cooled pickling liquid with anchovy oil for the sauce.
  • Salt cucumber strands for 5 minutes, wash, drain, and mix with the remaining pickling liquid.
  • Serve cod slices with both salads and the dipping sauce.
