Herrings Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Lay the herrings in a fireproof dish, cover with the sliced onion, sprinkle with the pickling spice and add bay leaves, salt and pepper. Mix the wine and wine vinegar and pour over. Cook in the oven for about 1 1/2 hours. Allow to get cold before serving.

Steps:

• Soak the fillets in a bowl of cold water in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours.
• Change water twice.
• To make the pickling solution, combine water, vinegar, seasonings and sugar in a saucepan; bring to a boil.
• Stir to dissolve sugar; let cool.
• Rinse the fillets with cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
• Cut fish in 1-inch pieces removing bones.
• Peel and slice onion.
• Separate slices into rings.
• Arrange herring and onion rings in alternate layers in sterilized jars.
• Cover with pickling solution and cap.
• Refrigerate at least 3 days before serving.
• The herring will keep up to 3 weeks refrigerated.

Steps:

• Heat grill to its highest setting. Rinse the fish under running cold water to dislodge any loose scales. Brush with a little of the oil and season lightly. Grill for 6-8 mins, or until cooked; the eye should be white, the skin well browned and the flesh firm and opaque.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: whisk the mustard, basil, honey, lemon zest and juice and remaining oil together in a small bowl, and season. Once the fish is cooked, spoon the dressing over and serve.
