Steps:

• Rinse and pat dry the fillets, remove any skin, mince the fish, mince several times so you have a fine texture.

• Add salt, pepper, nutmeg and potato flour, mix well.
• Stir the farce vigorously and slowly incorporate the milk & cream, beating all the time.
• Butter a 2 1/2-3 pint oblong mould, sprinkle in the bread crumbs coating the mould.
• Add the mousse until the mould is 3/4 full.
• Cover with buttered foil or release foil.

• Bake in 375 oven for approximately 1 hour or until a knife comes out clean.
• Invert the mould very carefully.
• Decorate with the shrimp & parsley.
• Serve with sauce poured over it.
• Serve hot or at room temperature.

NORWEGIAN PUDDING

Steps:

• For the pudding: Heat the milk, cream and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Heat until just barely simmering, then remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, melt the 10 tablespoons butter in a medium pot. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the butter and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture browns lightly and smells nutty, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Gradually ladle the warm milk mixture into the pot, whisking constantly, until incorporated and the mixture comes to a visible simmer and thickens, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
• For the spiced sugar: Combine the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl and stir. Set aside.
• Serve the pudding warm, drizzled with melted butter and a generous sprinkling of the spiced sugar.
