Coriander and Ginger Pickled Herring

Method

• Taste the herring fillets and soak them in water or milk for a couple of hours if they are too salty.
• Bring water and sugar to a boil, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Let it cool and add vinegar.
• Place the herring fillets in the vinegar brine and let them sit overnight in the refrigerator. Pat the fillets dry and cut into pieces.
• Thinly slice the onion and cut the ginger into thin strips. Crush the coriander seeds and mix them with the onion, ginger, coriander, and capers.
• Layer the herring and onion mixture in a jar or a glass container.
• Mix apple cider vinegar, sugar, and oil, then pour the mixture over the herring and seal with a lid.
• The herring should marinate for a day in the refrigerator before serving.
• The herring keeps in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks.
