6 steps · 20 minutes
- Check the fillets for pin bones by running a thumb down the center line, and pull any you find with tweezers.
- Salt them and leave 10 minutes, then pat dry.
- Fry skin-side down in the butter over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, pressing them flat for the first few seconds so they do not curl.
- Turn and give them 1 minute more. Herring is thin and goes from done to dry quickly.
- Mix the sour cream, mustard and most of the dill in a bowl — this is served cold against the hot fish, which is the point of it.
- Spoon it alongside rather than over, so the skin stays crisp, and scatter the last of the dill.
