Many do not always like the taste of salted herring, and it seems that the baked herring in the oven will also not have some bright, rich taste. This is a big mistake. Fish, like meat, will be ideal if you pick the right recipe marinade.

Preparing the marinade

In order to prepare a marinade for this type of fish, you need to cut an orange in half and squeeze out the juice from one halve. To the juice, add a little salt and black pepper. Garlic can be cut finely with a knife, or you can use a special shredder. Add the garlic to the juice. There - finely chopped greens of dill. Thoroughly mix.

Then measure three tablespoons of oil (vegetable or olive) - add to the mixture. If you like to use in the cooking various spices, selected specifically for a product, then you can safely add a seasoning to the fish mixture. If you think that the dish will be enough salt and pepper, that nothing is unnecessary, then you can not add spices.

We marinate herring

The next stage is marinating herring. Most often in stores you can find frozen fish, so before cooking it should be thawed at room temperature. Experts do not advise using a microwave oven.

When the carcass is thawed, cut off the head and tail, remove the insides and thoroughly wash the fish under cold water. We put it in a deep bowl, pour the prepared marinade and put it in the refrigerator for one hour.

Cooking stuffing

Of course, baked herring in the oven without any flavoring "embellishment" will already be a full dish. But that it turned out to be more saturated to taste and beautiful in appearance, so that it surprised and pleased your guests, we advise you to stuff the fish.

For the filling we will use tomatoes, Bulgarian pepper, a little green onion and cheese. Bulgarian sweet peppers should be cut into long but thin plates. We chop the tomato with rings. Since the green onions are not as strong and full of flavor as the onion, it should be cut into large strips. Add a little spices (optional), salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, mix all the ingredients and fill them with herring.

Breading

Despite the fact that we have on our agenda baked herring in the oven, and not fried in a frying pan, we can not do without breading. It is prepared from beaten eggs and breadcrumbs, carefully mixed together in a separate bowl.

We bake a saddle

Pre-expose the indicator of the required temperature. The oven should be warmed up to 180 degrees. On a wide baking sheet spread the foil. Cut the piece so that there is a "stock". She must cover the dish and from below, and from above. Herring with filling is dipped several times in the breading mixture and put on foil in a baking tray. Top with sprinkled cheese on a large grater. You can add a little marinade, in which the fish was languishing. Then, during evaporation in the oven, this liquid will give a more intense taste and aroma to the dish.

We close the top of the fish and send the baking tray into the oven. Herring, baked in foil, in the oven is prepared for only half an hour. At the output you will get a very satisfying and useful dish with a minimum of calories.

By the way, herring is not only easy to cook and low-calorie, but also very healthy fish. It contains essential omega-3 acids that prevent premature aging, the development of hypertension, the appearance of vascular asterisks. This fish is recommended for small children and pregnant women.
