Will need

To prepare four servings of Swedish herring you need:

• herring, preferably Pacific, 2 pieces, weighing approximately 300 g each;
  
• butter, natural, creamy 50 g;
  
• dill 30 g;
  
• pepper;
  
• salt.

Step-by-step recipe for cooking fish

1. Cut the herring into fillets with skin without bones and head. To do this, remove the head, cut the abdomen, and remove the entrails. Make a cut along the ridge, remove the spine, remove the costal bones. Wash and dry the resulting halves.
2. The prepared fish is salted and peppered to taste, sprinkled with finely chopped dill.

3.Prepared herring fillets are breaded in flour; you can use either white wheat or dark rye flour.
4. Heat the oil in a frying pan and place the fish fillet skin side down. Despite the fact that Swedish herring is fried mainly in butter, if desired, it can be replaced with vegetable oil or the fish can be cooked in a mixture of these oils.

5. After 5-6 minutes, the fish is turned over and fried on the other side.

6. Place the fried herring on a sheet of paper for a couple of minutes to absorb excess oil.

You can serve Swedish herring with vegetables, pickled onions or mashed potatoes.
