Marinated herring in mustard marinade
Every family must have a dish made of salted fish on the New Year's table. Marinated herring in mustard marinade has a special taste.
It's best to prepare such appetizers for New Year a day before the festive feast, so the fish can soak up the sweet and spicy sauce and fragrant spices. Be sure to include a couple of fresh herring in your pre-New Year shopping list.

Ingredients
Show ingredients
- large fresh herring – 2 pcs;
- medium-sized onion – 1 pc;
- fresh dill – a couple of sprigs.
For the marinade:
- large lemon – 0.5 pcs;
- table mustard – 40 ml;
- French mustard seeds – 1 tablespoon;
- honey – 20-40 ml;
- mixed ground spices: savory, coriander, nutmeg, red, black, and allspice – 2 teaspoons;
- table salt – 1 tablespoon.
Preparation
- Before cooking, make sure to wait until the fish is completely thawed. Remove the heads from the carcasses, gut them. Separate the spines, extract the small bones. Cut the resulting fillet into crosswise strips 1 cm thick.
- Mix the ingredients for the marinade, add the squeezed lemon juice, and thoroughly crush the mixture until homogeneous.
- Place the sliced fillet in a suitable dish, sprinkle with chopped onion half-rings and crushed herbs. Pour in the marinade, add lemon slices, gently knead the fish, cover with film, and place a weight on top (a three-liter jar filled with water will do). Keep at room temperature for about five hours (you can leave it overnight).
- The fish will quickly absorb the mustard marinade. A stunning appetizer will be ready for the festive evening.
Enjoy your meal!
