Step 1
How to bake herring in the oven? It turns out very tasty! Prepare all the necessary products. It is better to use fish that has been defrosted once, because...

Add salt, onion and lemon juice to the products.

Gut the herring, rinse well under running cold water, and dry with paper towels. If there is caviar in the fish, leave it, put it in the belly, it is tasty and you can give it to a child without fear, because The herring itself is quite bony and you need to carefully select the bones.
