steinar
...a first course winner
 

This gravlax recipe is a special culinary creation of Steinar's, blending his love of salmon and Scandinavian aquavit.
Behind that charming smile is the soul of a true Viking...beware!
This recipe is special and original because of the use of aquavit. He advises sipping a bit while preparing the salmon...Skal!
Serve with chopped onion, dill, capers and mustard sauce, layering with crisps or rye bread as an open face sandwich.

A first course winner.
