📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Laxpudding is a Swedish home dish of sliced potato, cured salmon, and dill layered and baked with an egg and milk custard. 'Pudding' here means not a sweet but an oven dish bound with egg. It's traditionally eaten with melted butter poured over and is often made with leftover gravlax.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a spring evening, with lilacs blooming in the garden, a dill-scented pudding comes out of the oven and melted butter is drizzled over.
