2. After the pickling mixture is ready, cut the herring into fillet pieces without small and large bones, fins and tails. It is also necessary to wash away blood and dark films. Since the herring will only be salted for a day, it is the fillets that need to be salted, and not the whole fish.
3. Take a container for pickling, preferably a plastic container or a food-grade stainless steel tray, sprinkle the bottom with a small amount of pickling mixture.
4. Place the first two fillet pieces of herring in the container, skin side up, then also sprinkle the fish with the pickling mixture on top.
5. Continue stacking the herring on top of each other, generously sprinkling it with the pickling mixture. At the end, the herring will begin to release liquid - this is quite normal, the salting process has begun, and you can cover your container with a lid and put the herring in the refrigerator for a day. From time to time you can turn the herring in the resulting brine so that the process occurs more evenly.
6. In a day, the herring will be ready, but how can you not prepare onions with butter and spices for such a tasty herring? Cut the onions into rings, lightly mash the coriander in a mortar until a pleasant aroma appears.
7. Wash the herring to remove brine, pat dry, and cut into pieces acceptable to you.
8. Place in a jar with onions and spices until the jar is full.
9. Fill with aromatic vegetable oil at your discretion. Let the herring stand in the refrigerator for another 1-2 hours and then you can try it.Wonderful taste and incomparable, easy preparation! Herring in mustard is ready in a day!
Bon appetit!
