Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fresh herring, cleaned and gutted
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Horseradish, freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Capers (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Pat the herring dry with paper towels. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the horseradish and parsley sauce by combining the parsley, horseradish, lemon juice, garlic, Greek yogurt, and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add capers if using. Mix well and set aside.
Place the herring on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, depending on the size of the fish. The skin should become crisp and the flesh should flake easily with a fork.
Once the herring is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the grilled herring immediately with a generous drizzle of the horseradish and parsley sauce on top, or on the side as a dipping sauce.
Garnish with extra chopped parsley or a lemon wedge, if desired. Enjoy!
