INGALLS PHOTOGRAPHY

A bright, piquant mustard emulsion is one of several bold sauces that traditionally accompany pickled herring in Sweden. The sweet-tart fish is bathed in the piquant dressing, then heaped atop crunchy crispbread and devoured—ideally between shots of aquavit, especially at Swedish Midsummer celebrations. This recipe first appeared in our June/July 2014 issue with Per Styregård's story "A Midsummer's Dream."
