Nice things happen to me in Sweden – Luxurious fish gratin with spinach

Me and my Swede love cooking together. He’s a great sous chef and the perfect person with which to try a new recipe.

So when contemplating what to do with our fish, I came across a recipe for luxurious fish gratin with spinach on the New Scandinavian Cooking website. I used the fish we had on hand, the recipe calls for three different types of fish.

Here is what theirs looks like:

And here is ours, step by step:

For the fish: Fill a large pot 2/3 full with water, add peppercorns, bay leaf, and vinegar, and bring to a boil. When the first bubbles occur, take pot of the heat, add the fresh fish and let seethe until cooked through.

Make béchamel: In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and mix until smooth. Add milk, little by little, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). In an ovenproof dish, arrange fish, ...

sauce and spinach in layers, making sure to balance your ingredients so...

that the finishing layer is sauce. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and the rest of the parmesan.

Here’s what ours looks like:

Forgot to mention that we added shrimp.

OK, so we didn’t layer like the recipe suggests. There’s held together when sliced. Their sauce was thicker. Who cares? Me and my Swede made it together and it tastes delicious. That’s super nice! Nice things happen to me in Sweden.

Nice things happen to me in Sweden – sharing a craving on a plate with my Swede

One of the many, many, many things I love about my Swede is his willingness to follow me anywhere.

Last weekend was no different when I wanted to satisfy my craving for a kebab. So on our way to pick up groceries we bee-lined to Street Food with Marcus Samuelson to try the kebab plate.

Was it worth the trip? The food was ok, but generous in size which made it perfect to share. We even had fries left over. The nicest thing was just being with my Swede, kicking back, eating, and people watching.

Celebrating the milestones away from old friends and family can be hard unless you plan your own celebration and include your new friends.

It was very, very nice to be invited to share a birthday drink which turned out to be champagne in a chic lounge with gorgeous divas from four different countries. Nice things happen to me in Sweden.

71 great dines for cheap: Tasting Stockholm: #306

They have a really great outdoor bar on the roof.

My Swede and I continue our question to eat our way through Stockholm using our Taste Stockholm card. This time we walked to Undici Bar & Restaurant.

I was excited by the unusual menu and ordered the pumpkin risotto.

Pumpkin risotto

Where's the pumpkin?

My Swede was temporarily torn between the lamb and the reindeer and I say temporarily because when I asked

How often do you eat reindeer?

he snapped out of his indecision and ordered the reindeer.

Reindeer

Excellent choice

In sum my pumpkin risotto was tasty but a bit skimpy on the pumpkin and the reindeer was perfectly cooked and presented in authentic style down to the lingon berries.

But I think the next time we’ll go back will be to enjoy the, what we remember to be, super cool rooftop bar.
