Smørrebrød – med Sild (with Marinated Herring)

August 27, 2012 by mydanishkitchen

Smørrebrød med Sild

It’s been a while since I’ve made a piece of traditional Danish Smørrebrød. This is marinated Herring which is not only super delicious but also high in Omega-3 fatty acids and therefor good for you. Herring is immensely popular in Scandinavia and it can always be found on a festive luncheon menu. You can buy Herring in different marinates such as mustard, cream, curry, wine or spiced sauces. For this particular Smørrebrød I used Herring in a wine sauce, which I adore, and I paired it with onions, capers and some wonderful fresh dill.

Smørrebrød – med Sild

Ingredients:

1 slice Rugbrød (dark Rye bread)

butter for bread, optional

Boston lettuce

marinated herring in wine sauce

red onion, diced

dill

capers

Directions:

Finely dice red onion, set aside. Butter bread if desired. Place lettuce on bread and top with marinated herring. Arrange red onions, dill and capers in a decorative fashion. Smørrebrød is enjoyed with a cold beer and Akvavit snaps. Enjoy!

    We eat this all the time (bar the capers – my pet hate along with green cheese). For a change my mum once mixed chopped up apple, red onion, mayonnaise and curry powder to top the herring which made a nice change!

    Looks yummy, I adore pickled herring! Do you have a recipe for marinating/pickling herring?

    Thanks for the great inspirations your blog provides. 🙂

      Janet, thank you for your kind words. No I don’t have a recipe for pickled herring but I did come across a site that describes the process and has a recipe. So if you read Danish and you’re up for the task, here is the link. 🙂

    Now you’ve gone and made me hungry for some Sild. Hmmm, gotta pick up a jar the next time I’m in the big city. I have the bread and the Akvavit already.
