Herring fillets, about 1 pound total, with skin on |
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. |
