Norwegian Butter Sauce/Sandefjordsmor
Norwegian Butter Sauce, or Sandefjordsmor, if you are a local, is a tasty, rich condiment, made from butter, cream, lemon, fresh herbs and a touch of cayenne pepper. Seen here with halibut, it works well with most fish, but is also delicious with chicken or steak, if you are looking for something a little different.
How to make Norwegian Butter Sauce/Sandefjordsmor
Where is the recipe for Norwegian Butter Sauce/Sandefjordsmor from?
The recipe for the Norwegian Butter Sauce/Sandefjordsmor is from Chef John on Food Wishes. I first ate it when we were staying at Lyngen Lodge, last April. They served it with Oven-Baked Halibut and it was sensational.
Collect all your ingredients together:
- lemons juice
- double/heavy cream
- cold, unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- sea salt, to taste
- cayenne pepper, to taste
- chopped, flat leaf parsley or tarragon leaves
Now make this sauce:
- Juice the lemons directly into a sauce pan and reduce over a moderate heat until you have around 1 tablespoon. Keep a close eye on it, as it can reduce quickly and burn, very easily.
- Next pour in the cream, heat and reduce until the cream and lemon juice cover the back of a spoon.
- Whisk in the butter, 2 or 3 cubes at a time, ensuring the butter has melted into the sauce, before adding any more. Continue until all the butter has emulsified into the cream. This will take around 8 – 10 minutes.
- Add salt and pepper to taste and fold in the chopped herbs.
