Ingredients

1 kg (2 1/4 pounds) fresh herring

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 large onion

4-5 black peppercorns

1 bay leaf

Note: If you can find juniper berries, then a couple added are a lovely touch.

Directions

Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F).

Scale, clean and rinse the fish.

Bone and cut into fillets.

Sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper.

Roll them up, beginning at the tail end.

Place tightly together in a jar.

Peel and slice the onion.

Note: I cut the onion in half and slice half moon shaped pieces.

Place between and over the herring rolls.

Sprinkle with peppercorns and place bay leaf.

Cover with a lid or foil.

Place the jar on towel (to keep it from moving) in an oven pan.

Add hot water to reach halfway up on the sides.

Bake 12 - 15 minutes, until the fish is done.

Serve directly from the jar with rye bread, boiled potatoes and creamy horseradish, or with sour cream and chives. Always have fresh dill to snip overtop.
