Wrap in foil and refrigerate for at least an hour. Remove the foil from the herring. Fold parchment paper twice to create a strip about 1.5 cm wide, insert a string into the middle, then wrap the fish like a present.
Prepare the Salad Chop the fennel and zucchini. Prepare a vinaigrette with olive oil, orange juice, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the vegetables with the prepared dressing, then add chopped parsley and dill. Cook the Barley Groats Cook the barley groats according to the package instructions (fluffy).
