Herring in mustard and honey sauce, with onions and vinegar: a recipe for a delicious and healthy appetizer

Herring is one of the healthiest and tastiest types of fish. Herring contains an average of 19-20 g of protein, which is a very good ratio. Also, herring, like any fish, contains large amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, which protect the heart and blood vessels, are good for skin diseases, and should be part of any balanced diet. It can be salted on its own, as well as made into forshmak, salads, and sandwiches.
