Herring in mustard sauce is a refined representative of Finnish cuisine, combining spiciness and richness of flavors. This dish has roots in the traditions of northern peoples, where fish has always held an important place in gastronomy. The thick mustard sauce with apple cider vinegar and olive oil gives the herring a pleasant sharpness, softened by the sweetness of sugar and the aroma of fresh dill. Marinated in the refrigerator, the fish becomes especially tender and flavorful. This dish is perfect as an appetizer for a festive table or as an accompaniment to crispy rye bread and a chilled drink. The unique combination of ingredients makes it unparalleled in its kind.
