Step 1
1. This simple recipe for herring canapés can be made in just a few minutes. Slice white bread into thin pieces and toast on both sides in a dry pan or in a toaster. It shouldn’t be too browned. While the croutons are still warm, you can lightly rub them with half a clove of garlic—this will give them an extraordinary aroma.

4. Peel the herring, removing the skin and bones. Place the finished fillet on top. If you couldn’t fillet the fish neatly, it’s better to make small canapés right away. If the fillet pieces are large enough, you can cut the canapés from the ready large pieces.
