Smrrebrd med Sild (with Marinated Herring)

Smrrebrd med Sild

Its been a while since Ive made a piece of traditional Danish Smrrebrd. 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 Smrrebrd I used Herring in a wine sauce, which I adore, and I paired it with onions, capers and some wonderful fresh dill.
