Ingredients

Instructions

  • Shred: Peel the hard-boiled eggs and shred on a fine shredded, reserving one yolk for the top. Transfer the shredded eggs to a medium-sized bowl.
  • Chop: Remove the cod livers from the tins onto a cutting board, avoiding as much of the oil as possible. Finely chop the livers, green onions, and dill and transfer to the eggs.
  • Stir: With a large spoon, stir to combine all the ingredients. Do a taste test for salt and moisture. Adjust salt and the cod liver oil if necessary to add moisture to the salad.
  • Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and shred the egg yolk over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve.

Notes

Storage: Transfer the salad to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir before serving to incorporate all ingredients. 
Helpful tips: 
  1. Drain excess oil - Remove as much excess cod liver oil as possible by blotting the livers with paper towels. 
  2. Chill eggs before peeling - After boiling, chill the eggs very well before peeling and shredding them. 
  3. Finely shred eggs - To maintain the delicate texture of the cod livers and the eggs, finely shred the eggs. You can finely dice them but it's better shredded, especially if served with crackers or toast.
  4. Presentation is key - For a stunning presentation, I like to carefully spoon the salad onto a flat plate and smooth it out using the back of a spoon. Then top with finely grated egg yolk and fresh herbs.
