1. Wrap the cod roe in parchment paper and tie it with kitchen string.
2. Place the parcel in a pot with cold water, salt, onion, bay leaves, apple cider vinegar, thyme and black peppercorns.

4. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes, depending on the size of the roe. (25 min)
5. Turn off the heat and let the roe cool in the pot together with the brine.
6. The roe can be served as it is.
