Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk the mustard, vinegar and sugar until fully dissolved.
- Add the mayonnaise and ketchup, then mix until you have a smooth sauce.
- Loosen with the hot water a spoonful at a time to get a runny texture, then season with salt and pepper.
- Cut the herring fillets into pieces and slice the onion into thin rings.
- Arrange the herring pieces and onion on the rye bread, then drizzle with the S.O.S. sauce.
Variations and tips
Mustard-only version. Double the mustard and leave out the ketchup for a sharper, less sweet sauce.
