Smoked herring on rye
Sol over Gudhjem, 'sun over Gudhjem', is the famous smørrebrød of Bornholm, the Danish island in the Baltic, where smokehouses in Gudhjem and Svaneke still smoke herring over alder wood: a slice of dark rye spread with butter, topped with a skinned, boned smoked herring, chopped chives and radishes, and a raw egg yolk in the middle as the 'sun'. Raw egg yolk is not for pregnant women, young children or anyone with a weakened immune system; this recipe uses pasteurised eggs, and the yolk can be swapped for a soft-boiled one. A common mistake is leaving the herring bones in; pick them out carefully. Chef's tip: set the yolk in a ring of raw onion so it stays put.
