Herring with Onion
Description
The appetizer is quick and easy to make. Today I'm offering you a slightly unusual recipe for herring with onion, which we'll liven up by adding mustard and mayonnaise. Of course, even plain herring, drizzled with oil and garnished with green onion, always goes over great at any feast, but there's no limit to perfection. With these small twists, the dish becomes not only tastier, but also more filling and a bit prettier. I highly recommend this wonderful dish, and now I'll tell you how to make herring with onion using my recipe.

Now it's the herring's turn: rinse it under cold water, cut off the head and fins, and gut it (the roe can be set aside for now). Carefully remove the skin and rinse the fish under water once more.
