"A dish does not get much more Nordic than this one; herring, apples, cider, horseradish, parsley - are all traditional ingredients in the Scandinavian kitchen. Herring is usually marinated and this recipe offers a grilled alternative which I much prefer. Serve with peeled cooked small new potatoes"

A good solid meal. The salad, to me, went great together with the herring. It gave a nice clean taste, compared to the herring with it's sharp horseradish sauce. Would I have this again......probably not, but only because it is too costly to me here in New Mexico! Thnx for sharing a little bit of your heritage, Deantini. Made for the Voracious Vagabonds in ZWT6.

I grilled my fish over a charcoal fire, and it was wonderfully textured and smokey tasting. I totally enjoyed the horseradish sauce, I can see using this sauce on lots of other dishes. The radish and apple salad was a little strange to me with the fish, although it was very pretty. I'll use the rest of it tossed with other salads! Thanks for sharing your deliciously Nordic recipe!
