We may never know who Jansson is, but Jansson's temptation (Janssons frestelse) is an absolute must on a cold and frigid evening. You might be put off by the inclusion of anchovies, but you will be really surprised at how well the saltiness of the fish works in this dish. If the anchovies are a definite 'no,' then substitute smoked salmon. It won't have the same saltiness in each bite, but the salmon can be just as delicious in its own right. This is the one recipe that I get requests for after parties and there is always an amusing display of disbelief afterwards when the inclusion of anchovies is revealed.

Fried Fish Tacos to Remind You of Baja California

I went to Baja California to visit parents and tried to copy the taste of what we had at a few taco stands there, and this fried fish taco is closest we could come up with.
