Lightly salted herring
Description
To make fish like this, you need the simplest ingredients in the form of seasonings and spices. Adjust the salt to your taste, but in this version it is (in my opinion) well balanced. I recommend choosing sea salt. Even a beginner cook can make this appetizer, and the fish needs to marinate for only one day.
