This stew is substantial and very filling. On a very low flame, it simmers steadily for at least 10 to 15 hours or longer.

Ingredients
- 1 pound dried lutefisk
- 1 quart water
- 1 ½ tablespoons salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Bring water and salt to a rolling boil. Add lutefisk and return to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover, and let sit for 8 minutes. Check with an instant-read thermometer to make sure the internal temperature has reached 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
- Carefully remove lutefisk from water using a scoop strainer or skimmer spoon. Cover with melted butter and serve immediately.
- If you like a salty flavor you can use up to 3 tablespoons salt per quart of water, but I don’t care for that much.
- If you are cooking 6 or more servings you can use less water and salt, just keep the ratio of water to salt the same. The timing is important because you want to serve this fish as soon as it is ready.
