Spread the love

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 4 portions of herring fillet(s)
  • 100 g butter
  • 1 large lemon(s) (organic)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup of yogurt
  • 1 bunch of dill
  • some flour
  • some clarified butter
  • Salt
  • Pepper, from the mill

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 6 minutes; Total time approx. 16 minutes

If the herring fillets are too salty, soak them in water or milk. Grate the lemon zest and set aside. Cut a slice of lemon and let it simmer in the melted butter over very low heat for about 5 minutes. Mix the sour cream with the yogurt, season with salt and pepper, and add the chopped dill. Dry the herring fillets, coat them in flour, and quickly fry them on both sides in the hot clarified butter, for about 30 seconds per side. They should be lightly browned and warm inside. Arrange the fillets on plates. Remove the lemon slice from the melted butter and add the grated lemon zest, then spread it over the fillets. Serve with the dill sour cream. This goes very well with roasted potatoes or a sweet potato gratin.
