Serves 4

Ingredients

Sandwich rolls
4, preferably soft white rolls or crusty baguettes
Herring fillets
4, fresh or pickled
Onion
1 small, finely chopped
Pickles
4, sliced (preferably dutch gherkins)
Fresh dill
2 tablespoons, chopped
Mayonnaise
4 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing your ingredients: finely chop the onion and slice the pickles.
  2. Open the sandwich rolls by slicing them in half horizontally, ensuring not to cut all the way through to retain the structure.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with a pinch of salt and pepper for added flavor.
  4. Spread a thin layer of the seasoned mayonnaise on the inside of each sandwich roll.
  5. Place one herring fillet on the bottom half of each roll, letting its rich flavor shine through.
  6. Top the herring with a generous amount of sliced pickles and finely chopped onions.
  7. For an added touch of flavor, sprinkle freshly chopped dill over the top, enhancing the freshness of the sandwich.
  8. Close the sandwich rolls gently and serve immediately, allowing the flavors to mingle and enhance.

Tips

  • 💡 For a spicier kick, try adding a slice of spicy radish or a dollop of horseradish to the sandwich.
  • 💡 If you're feeling adventurous, experiment with different types of fish, such as mackerel or salmon, for a unique twist.
  • 💡 Serve with a side of Dutch fries or a small salad to complete your meal.
