Lightly Pickled Herring And Potato Salad

Recipe Ingredients

8		Herring fillets - (abt 1 lb total) - with skin on
1 tablespoon	15ml	Kosher salt
2 tablespoons	30ml	Extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons	30ml	Sherry wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Cayenne Pepper - or to taste
1 tablespoon	15ml	Thinly-sliced garlic
1/4 cup	59ml	Thinly-sliced shallots
1/4 cup	36g / 1.3oz	Medium-diced roasted red peppers
5		Bliss potatoes - medium diced
2 sections		Fresh rosemary - chopped
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste

Recipe Instructions

Rub the herring fillets with the salt and let sit for 30 minutes. Rinse briefly and pat dry.

Mix together olive oil, vinegar, cayenne, and garlic. Marinate herring in this mixture for another 30 minutes.

Remove fish from marinade. Boil the marinade for several minutes and set aside to cool.

Put the potatoes in a small pot with cold water and salt to taste. Bring to a boil and cook until tender. Drain from hot water.

Preheat a broiler and broil the fish fillets about 6 inches from the heat source for 3 to 4 minutes until lightly browned (the fillet should just begin to turn opaque and begin to flake). Remove from heat.

Toss potatoes with marinade, diced roasted peppers, chopped rosemary and shallots. Place potato salad on a platter, place the fillets over the salad and serve immediately.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
