This very ancient dish of pickled salmon is of Swedish origin, and considered by a great many Scandinavians to be superior to smoked salmon. It must be made with fresh fish that has never been frozen, and with a plentiful supply of fresh dill weed.

This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. We love this velvety sauce as a topping for ice cream and for fruits such as strawberries and bananas. There's also something to be said for sampling it by the spoonful, straight from the fridge.

This recipe yields about 3/4 cup ice cream per person if serving 8 to 10. If you want to make a larger quantity, we recommend making 2 batches rather than simply doubling the recipe.

Domestic golden whitefish roe, much of which comes from the Great Lakes region, can also be used.

These quick and easy pizzas make great use of store-bought pizza dough, which is available in your grocer's freezer.
