Previously, I only ate herring in a salted form, the most traditional option. But in the market, since May, we sell fresh Don herring, which is caught in the Don. Many people buy and salted it at home, fried and baked it. So I decided to try it and realized that it was very tasty!

Fried it is very tasty with dill, the main thing is not to feel sorry for it, but generously sprinkle it on the almost finished herring in the pan. When baked, it is no less good, I bake it with potatoes, which I cut into pieces and sprinkle with herbs. And since I like the golden brown crust, before baking, I only fry it slightly, and then I bring it to readiness in the oven along with the potatoes.

When the Don herring season begins, I buy it for future use and freeze it so that it can be cooked at any time of the year. I think you can cook Atlantic herring in the same way if you buy it fresh. In any case, I advise you to try this dish. Oven-baked herring with potatoes is an inexpensive dish, so you can cook it often if you like fish.

So, let's prepare potatoes, herring, and also spices for our dish.

Since my herring is frozen, I defrost it, after which it must be gutted, gills removed, rinsed under running water and dried. If there is caviar, we also leave it.

Salt and pepper the herring and caviar. Also sprinkle with dried thyme, just a little.

Wash the potato tubers and cut them into quarters. When the potatoes are young, they can be cooked with the skins. Put the potatoes in a baking dish, season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with thyme and sprinkle with vegetable oil. We send the form to the oven and bake the potatoes until half cooked.

As I said above, before baking, I fry the fish only slightly - until a barely golden crust appears - in a preheated pan with vegetable oil. I also fry the caviar, you should not bake it, otherwise it will become overdried.

Then cut the lemon into thin slices.

We put the carcasses of the herring in a mold for the potatoes and lay the lemon slices on top.

We bake the herring with potatoes in the oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes, until the fish and potatoes are fully cooked.

We take out the herring with potatoes from the oven and transfer to a plate. Our Don herring is smaller in size than the Atlantic herring, so we can safely take one fish per serving. Serve hot and cold, fresh vegetables are a must! Enjoy your meal!

I have three in one today. This note is not for experienced housewives. I will tell you a little how to choose a herring, I will tell you in detail how to clean it. And I will give the simplest recipe for a completely royal dinner - a herring in mustard sauce with hot potatoes, and with fragrant sunflower oil and onions.

How to choose lightly salted herring

I don’t like to buy herring fillets in plastic containers or vacuum packs. Once I read that they almost soak her in formalin to get rid of small bones. I prefer herring salted in barrels. On our beautiful, such herring is sold in fish ranks, very different, from the Atlantic and Iwasi to the Don. The herring should be taken flat, plump, without damage to the skin and rusty spots. It should be very elastic, dense. If she has reddish eyes, then she is very slightly salted, very tasty, but I am afraid to buy one. I choose medium-salted herring with whitish eyes, then soak until lightly salted, put the whole thing in cold water for a couple of hours. And look at the back! The wider the back, the fatter and tastier the herring.

Lightly salted barrel herring

And of course, such herring needs to be peeled.

How easy it is to peel salted herring from the skin and entrails

In the meantime, I set the potatoes to cook. Everything is as usual, peel, if large, cut, put in cold water, bring to a boil and cook until tender (about 20 minutes). I don’t salt. If a knife or fork pierces the potato without effort, drain the water.

Boil potatoes without salt

I cover the entire table with cling film, cut herring on thick paper. Cut off the head, cut the abdomen with a sharp knife and remove the insides. Do not cut off the tail! Rinse the herring inside with running cold water.

Make an incision along the back of the fish, along the dorsal fin.

Gently pick up the skin at the incision and peel the skin of the herring. Here, the photo shows how round and fat it is.

Now take the herring by the tail with both hands and pull it in different directions. The herring will begin to divide into three parts - two lower ones, with a cut along the abdomen, and a back.

Split herring with tail fin

Here's how it happened. A ridge remained from the back.

Divide the dorsal part along an incision made near the fin, and remove the ridge along with large bones. Now cut off the tail fins.

From one herring we got four neat fillets.

How to peel a herring

It remains to cut each fillet, simultaneously removing small bones.

This simple one I learned to cook at school. We can say that my culinary path began with him. I remember we had a big cookbook in our home library, in which there were photographs of ready-made dishes for many recipes. I really liked the presentation of snacks - these were, in fact, complex slicing of vegetables, a prototype of modern carving technique. I learned the recipes with pleasure, tried to prepare simple salads, and every time I got better and better.
And when we went through housekeeping and cooking in labor lessons, we brought food into the classroom and immediately prepared our culinary "masterpieces". Of course, these were simple dishes, but how nice it was to make them with your own hands, and then treat our boys, who at that time were studying carpentry or plumbing.
This herring salad with potatoes and onions is really so simple that it can be prepared by a beginner in the culinary business, and consists of only a few ingredients: boiled potatoes in a peel, onions and lightly salted herring cut into slices. Oh, what a deliciousness it is, I'll tell you! And if you pour a snack with delicious oil, for example pumpkin or sesame oil, and even add spices to taste, you will get an excellent simple dish.
It is only important to buy a good herring so that it is not very salty with elastic pulp and an appetizing smell, because the taste of the whole dish depends on this. If desired, you can also add finely chopped parsley, dill and green onions. You can also make something similar to this one.

- potato tuber - 3-4 pcs.,
- lightly salted herring - 1 pc.,
- turnip onions - 1 pc.,
- salt - to taste,
- spices to taste,
- fresh greens (optional),
- vegetable oil - for refueling.

Step by step recipe with photo:

To begin with, boil potato tubers directly in the peel. To do this, first select undamaged tubers of the same size and thoroughly wash them from sand and other contaminants. Then fill them with hot water, add salt (maybe a little more than usual) and cook until tender, but do not overcook. Then we drain the hot water and place the potatoes in cold water for a couple of minutes - this way the tubers cool faster, and the skin is easier to remove.
Cut the peeled potatoes into strips or cubes.




Now we are engaged in fish. We cut off the head and tail, be sure to cut the tummy and select the insides. Then we remove the ridge from the carcass and carefully, and most importantly, carefully, take out all the bones.
Cut the herring fillet into small slices.




Chop the peeled onion finely.




Finely chop the greens.

Season herring salad with potatoes and onions with oil, add spices and mix. Salt to taste. But it is worth remembering that the herring is already quite salty. Try to make one more.

1. When choosing a herring, make sure that it has a thick back. Such fish will be tastier.
2. It is very easy to check the freshness of the fish. It is enough just to dip it into the water. If the product is fresh, it will sink immediately.
3. It is best to give preference to Pacific herring, it is considered the most useful.
4. Always buy fish with head and gills, they can be used to determine the quality of the product.
5. You need to store fish in brine and glass containers.
6. When cooking, do not immediately remove the fish's head. This will add richness to the sauce and give the vegetables a brighter flavor. The main thing is not to forget to remove the gills initially, otherwise the dish will taste bitter.
7. Do not peel herring on a wooden surface, it will quickly absorb the fish smell.
8. Often, the herring comes across too salty, and in order to get rid of this, it is soaked in water. You can also use strong tea (if the fish is loose, soaking it will give it more elasticity) or milk.
