Swedish Skagenröra Toast with Imitation Crab

Author: Flavelo
Sauces and Gravies Recipes
Skagenröra is an iconic spread from the Swedish coast, typically piled high on toast (Toast Skagen). While originally made with fresh shrimp, this version uses surimi (imitation crab) for a brilliant everyday hack: the texture of the surimi works surprisingly well in the creamy, dill-laden sauce, delivering that seaside vibe for a fraction of the cost.

Instructions

1 ✓

Chop the imitation crab into rough, bite-sized chunks. Don't mash it; you want texture.

Tip: Surimi is fibrous; if chopped too fine, it gets lost in the cream.
2 ✓

Mix the mayonnaise with the sour cream, finely chopped dill, and lemon juice.

Tip: The acidity of the lemon cuts through the richness of the mayo, balancing the flavor.
3 ✓

Fold in the crab and thinly sliced green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Tip: Go easy on the salt, as surimi and mayo are already salty.
4 ✓

Serve piled on toast, garnished with a sprig of dill and crushed pink peppercorns.

Tip: Pink peppercorns aren't just pretty; their slight fruity heat pairs well with seafood flavors.

Recipe FAQ

What if it's too runny?
The surimi might have been wet, or the lemon juice thinned it out. Add a little more mayo or thick sour cream to bind it.
