Danish Pickled Herring Burger
Experience the unique fusion of Scandinavian tradition and contemporary gourmet cuisine with our Danish Pickled Herring Burger. The combination of tangy pickled herring with modern burger elements creates a culinary delight that is a must-try for adventurous palates.
Ingredients
- 4 pieces brioche burger buns freshly baked if possible
- 400 grams pickled herring fillets Danish-style, drained
- 1 cup red cabbage finely shredded
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon capers chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
- 1 medium red onion thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
Instructions
- Prepare the Herring Mixture. Gently pat the pickled herring fillets dry with paper towels. Cut them into smaller, bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Make the Sauce. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped capers, and fresh dill. Stir until smooth and set aside.
- Sauté the Red Onion. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the thinly sliced red onion. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Assemble the Burger. Slice the brioche buns in half and lightly toast under a broiler or in a toaster for a slight crunch. Spread the prepared sauce generously on both halves of each bun.
- Layer the Burger. Start with a layer of shredded red cabbage on the bottom bun, followed by a few pieces of the pickled herring. Add sautéed red onions, and cover with the top bun.
Notes
For an extra kick, add a slice of pickled beetroot or serve with a side of crispy sweet potato fries.
