OK, so let's get this out of the way right away: Is this "toast skagen"? No, but inspired by it - yes. There are a lot of strong feelings around what "toast skagen" contains and its origins - I'm not going to dive too deep into that swamp here. This is just a skagen mix that I like (with slightly less crème fraiche and mayonnaise compared to previous variations I've posted on the site), served on a slice of buttered fried white bread.
I have chosen to punch out a round piece of bread which I think looks nice, but usually it works just as well to just cut off the edges. With a round piece of bread it becomes a bit more of a pastry-like creation that fits nicely at a festive meal.
To save a little money I use lumpfish roe but of course you can use "kalixlöjrom" for extra luxury instead.

Ingredients
Directions
- Defrost the shrimp at room temperature on paper. This will take 1-2 hours.
- Peel the shrimp and let them drain in a sieve if they are watery.
- Save a few shrimp for decoration and then roughly chop the rest if they are large, small ones can be left whole.
- Mix chopped shrimp, crème fraiche, mayonnaise, finely chopped red onion, lumpfish roe and lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Store in a container with a lid in the refrigerator until serving.
- Cut off the edges or punch out a round piece of bread.
- Fry the bread in the butter at medium temperature until the bread is golden brown.
- Let the bread cool to room temperature.
- Place a generous dollop of Skagen mix on the bread pieces.
- Top with the shrimps saved earlier, lumpfish roe, a slice of lemon and a small sprig of dill.
