- 1 small onion thinly sliced
- Fresh dill chopped (about 1-2 tbsp)

Prepare the Bread:
Slice the rolls or rye bread in half. If you’re using rye bread, you may want to toast it lightly for a crisp texture. Spread a thin layer of mustard or butter on the inside of each bread slice, depending on your preference.
Assemble the Sandwich:
Place the Matjes herring fillets on the bottom half of the bread.
Add the thinly sliced onions evenly on top of the herring.
Sprinkle fresh dill over the onions and herring for extra flavor.
