1Combine all the brining ingredients in a pot, bring to the boil and add salt to taste. Simmer for 15 minutes.

2Spread out the herring fillets on a large chopping board, and sprinkle with cinnamon, salt and pepper. Coat the fish with mustard and then the dill. Close the fillets on themselves and turn in flour.

3Heat the oil with the butter in a non-stick frying pan and fry the coated fish for about a minute on each side. Place in a casserole and pour the hot brine over the top. Let the fish soak for at least 6 hours, but preferably 12 hours or more. The herring can be eaten hot or cold. They can be heated in the brine or in an oven for about five minutes.
