Baked;
Put the lutefisk in a non-corrosive baking dish and season with salt and pepper. Put in a preheated oven at 375 degrees F. for 25 to 30 minutes. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork. Do not overcook it or it will be a white Jell! It does not be brown.

Serve with Bacon,or pork drippings, white sauce, mustard sauce, or the all time favorite melted butter.
Or try the Norwegian attitude and go with melted goat cheese.
Serve on the side, steamed potatoes and tiny peas, also lots of lefse.

Do not serve on a silver platter.
