Treat your ingredients with care...
- Smoked salmon — Ensure the salmon is finely chopped to evenly distribute the flavor throughout the filling.
- Fennel — Remove the tough outer layer of the fennel bulb before finely chopping it.
- Dill — Use fresh dill for the best flavor. Chop it just before adding it to the filling to retain its freshness.
Tips & Tricks
- For a vegetarian version, replace the smoked salmon with smoked tofu or mushrooms.
- Experiment with different Nordic herbs like lovage or sorrel to add unique flavors to the filling.
- Serve the dumplings on a bed of fresh greens for a lighter and more vibrant presentation.
- If you prefer a crispier texture, pan-fry the dumplings for a few extra minutes after steaming.
- Freeze any leftover dumplings for a quick and delicious meal later on.
Serving advice
Serve the Nordic Fusion Gyoza as an appetizer or a main course. Arrange the dumplings on a platter and garnish with fresh dill sprigs. Provide small bowls of yogurt and dill sauce for dipping.
Presentation advice
Arrange the Nordic Fusion Gyoza on a white plate to showcase the vibrant colors of the filling. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped dill and a drizzle of olive oil for an elegant touch.
