Manchester City striker Erling Haaland swapped the opposition penalty area for the grill, showing his followers his cooking skills with a distinctly Norwegian flavour.
The 26-year-old Norwegian posted footage of himself preparing fresh fish on social media, accompanied by a brief caption:
Showing off my cooking skills, and of course Norwegian fish is on the menu.
Norwegian salmon is more than a one-off meal for the striker: it is a foundation of his strict sporting diet. In an interview with Men's Health before the 2026 World Cup, Haaland discussed his eating habits in detail, emphasising that seafood is central to his diet and fresh salmon remains his favourite.
The cooking post also comes amid a long-standing commercial partnership. Haaland has been an official ambassador for the Norwegian Seafood Council since 2024, through the Godfisk and Seafood from Norway brands. In March 2026, the agreement was officially extended until autumn 2028, confirming Haaland's status as the leading global ambassador for Norwegian produce.
The post came during a busy period for City. On 4 November, Haaland scored the decisive goal in a 3-2 Champions League win over RB Leipzig, before showing that he can finish coolly both on the pitch and at the stove.
