Method

4 steps · 10 minutes

Lay the smoked herring skin-side down on foil under a medium broiler. High heat scorches the thin tail before the thick end is warm.
Dot half the butter over them and broil 7 minutes without turning.
Melt the remaining butter with a squeeze of lemon while they cook.
Pour it over and grind pepper on. No salt at any point — smoked herring is already cured, and adding more is the mistake everyone makes once.
