Sild

This traditional Scandinavian dish features pickled herring served with onions and a tangy marinade.

Ingredients - Serves 4

In a small saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, peppercorns, bay leaf, and salt. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let the marinade cool.
Place the pickled herring fillets and sliced red onion in a glass or ceramic dish.
Pour the cooled marinade over the herring and onion. Make sure the fillets are fully submerged. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
To serve, remove the herring fillets from the marinade and arrange them on a platter. Garnish with fresh dill and serve with rye bread slices.
Enjoy the tangy and flavorful pickled herring as an appetizer or part of a traditional Scandinavian meal.
