This is a recipe from the Icelandic cookbook my sister made for her husband as a birthday present because there just is no Icelandic cookbook on the German speaking market; I just pulled it through Google translate and cleaned it up a little.-

I've made this a couple of times recently so thought I'd share the recipe. Friday night we thought we'd have a bit of a feast so we started with asparagus [boil gently, wrap in proscuitto or parma ham, put a slice of brie on top and hove under the grill until the cheese softens] then the pie [see below] and Rocky Road with Joe's Ice Cream for pudding.

I got this recipe out of this awesome Jewish cookbook. Made it several times and every time, I go, "OMG, this is the best!" It's so simple you hardly even need a "recipe."
Caraway Fish
Take some fresh or thawed fish -- halibut, tuna, yellowtail, salmon, it all works -- and put in a lightly greased/oiled pan. Pre-heat oven to 350 F. To prep fish, put a few pads of butter/oleo on top, sprinkle thoroughly with caraway seeds, drizzle with lemon juice, and add salt and pepper. Put in the over for 25-30 min 'til cooked to consistency you like it. (I prefer still a bit moist but not at all raw.)
It is SO good!

Made this tonight, from a Jewish recipe book, and it was delicious and easy so I thought I'd share.

This is a bit of a rule-of-thumb sort of recipe that I learned from Rita, the lady I stayed with in East Wittering, during my not-quite-year in England, 1986-87; precise measures are utterly lacking.-
You must have all of these:
What you do with them:
Enjoy!
You must have all of these:
- fish fillet, fresh or frozen; I had salmon and tuna, but any white fish will do just as well as that colourful stuff
- mixed vegetables; I was lazy and took a package of frozen 'Buttergemüse' that you get anywhere in Germany; in Finland I would have used herne-maissi-paprika, and so on. If you're very conscientious, you prepare fresh vegetables, and in that case, I would use mushrooms, leeks and carrots, as Rita used to.
- white sauce; you can make it from scratch (Rita used to), heating butter, adding flower, making a 'butterball', then dissolving that with milk: - but I used the stuff from a packeage, just using milk instead of water. A bit of white pepper and a tiny tiny bit of nutmeg is good in either case.
- mashed potatoes; cooking the potatoes with ground artichokes for the sake of taste, and mashing them up along with the potatoes is something Rita used to do as well. I happened to have that sort of mashed potatoes from our Thanksgiving dinner, which had reminded me of Rita and her excellent cooking, and so I thought of the fish pie, actually
What you do with them:
- fish goes on the bottom of a oven-proof casserole type dish, with a bit of salt and white pepper if you want to; then the vegetables follow, then all that gets smothered in the white sauce.
- cover the whole with a solid layer of the mashed potatoes; best smooth it down witha spatula to make sure the stuff underneath is completely covered.
- you can then rough up the top a bit, or sprinkle a bit of grated cheese, butter, or breadcrumbs for the sake of crustiness
- the whole thing goes into the oven at not too hot (180° C) for an hour -- which is the rule for any casseroles and gratins anyway, it seems, no matter of what, and how much there is of it. Seems to be a basic axiom of life, just like the thing with the drunks and nutcases always knowing when to get off the train or bus.
Enjoy!
