Silakka

This traditional Finnish dish features crispy fried Baltic herring served with a tangy dill and mustard sauce.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Rinse the Baltic herring fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each herring fillet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Fry the herring fillets in batches for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the fried herring fillets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In a small bowl, mix together the chopped dill, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and sour cream to make the sauce.
Serve the fried herring fillets with the dill and mustard sauce, and garnish with lemon wedges.
Enjoy the crispy and flavorful Silakka!
