  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery tops (see substitutions)
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley and/or parsley stems
  • 2 Tbsp chopped freshdill (see substitutions)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/8 tsp ground or freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 good pinches of salt

  • 1/4 cup oil or butter

  • Cooked fish with well- soaked salt cod, cooked 5 minutes in boiling water and drained well
