Grilled Sill (Herring) on the Arteflame Grill

Swedish sill (herring) is a beloved staple, often served pickled. But grilling fresh herring on the Arteflame gives it a whole new dimension, adding a rich, smoky flavor and crispy skin while keeping the flesh moist and tender. Serve this grilled sill with traditional Swedish accompaniments like potatoes, dill, and a dollop of sour cream for a fresh and hearty meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 whole herring (cleaned and gutted)
  • 2 tbsp butter (for grilling)
  • 1 lemon (sliced into rounds)
  • 1 bunch fresh dill
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 medium potatoes (boiled)
  • Sour cream (for serving)
  • Lingonberry jam (optional, for serving)

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame Grill

Light the Arteflame grill by stacking firewood over vegetable oil-soaked napkins. Let it heat up for about 20 minutes. The hot center grate will sear the herring, while the outer flat griddle will give you more control for grilling sides like potatoes.

Step 2: Season the Herring

Rinse the herring and pat them dry. Rub the fish inside and out with butter, salt, and pepper. Stuff each fish with a few slices of lemon and fresh dill sprigs for added flavor.

Step 3: Grill the Potatoes

Start by grilling the boiled potatoes on the flat cooktop. Add a pat of butter and place the potatoes cut-side down. Grill until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes, then move to the cooler part of the griddle to keep warm.

Step 4: Grill the Herring

Place the seasoned herring on the hot center grate of the grill. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy and the flesh is flaky. Use tongs to carefully flip the fish, making sure it doesn't overcook.

Step 5: Serve

Plate the grilled herring alongside the crispy potatoes. Add a dollop of sour cream on the side, and garnish with more fresh dill and lemon wedges. For a sweet-tart contrast, serve with lingonberry jam if desired.

Grilling Tips

  • Use high heat for crispy skin: The center grate of the Arteflame will give you that perfect char on the outside while keeping the fish moist.
  • Keep an eye on the herring: Herring cooks quickly, so monitor it closely to avoid overcooking.

Conclusion

Grilling sill on the Arteflame gives this traditional Swedish fish an irresistible smokiness and crispy texture. Paired with buttery grilled potatoes and fresh dill, this dish is perfect for a light yet satisfying meal.
