How to Make Grilled Herring W Horseradish And Parsley Sauce

Rinse 4 (4-6 oz) herring fillets and pat dry with paper towels.
Drizzle fillets with 2 tablespoons apple cider and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
If fillets are open, gently secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
Prepare the Radish Salad: Combine 1 cup thinly sliced radishes, 1/2 cup diced apple (Honeycrisp or similar), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper in a bowl.
Prepare the Sauce: In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour and 1 tablespoon milk until smooth.
Gradually whisk in 1 cup milk until smooth.
Add 2 tablespoons butter and whisk constantly over medium-high heat until the sauce simmers and thickens (about 5 minutes).
Reduce heat to low and stir in 1 tablespoon apple cider, 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish (adjust to taste), 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Preheat grill or grill pan to high heat.
Brush herring fillets with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Grill herring for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.
Garnish grilled herring with extra parsley and a dollop of horseradish.
Serve immediately with the radish salad, horseradish sauce, and cooked, peeled new potatoes.
