Ingredients

4 smoked herring fillets, about 7 ounces total, preferable Jean Claude David brand
1 cup milk, more if needed
1 small carrot, peeled, cut into rounds
1/2 small onion, peeled and sliced
1 bay leaf
1 shallot, sliced
1 teaspoon juniper berries, crushed
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
6 slices lemon, quartered
Fine sea salt and black pepper
1 1/2 cups canola or grape seed oil, divided
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
4 medium fingerling potatoes, peeled
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley

Steps:

In a bowl, cover the herring with milk; cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
Drain the herring and pat dry with a paper towel. Put the herring, carrot, onion, bay leaf, shallot, juniper berries, thyme, garlic, lemon slices, and salt and pepper to taste in a shallow bowl. Gently stir them together, making sure not to break the herring fillets. Pour 1 cup grape seed or canola oil over the fish and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight or up to 7 to 10 days.
Stir together the mustard and vinegar. Whisk in the remaining .5 cup oil, season with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
Put the potatoes in a medium pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over a high flame, lower heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes. Drain. While still warm, slice the potatoes in half, arrange on a serving plate and season with salt and pepper.
Spoon some oil from the herring mixture over the potatoes and scatter with a few slices of the onion, carrots and lemon. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Cut the herring fillets into bite-size pieces and place on top of the potatoes. (Discard any remaining oil.) Drizzle the mustard vinaigrette over the herring and potatoes. Sprinkle with the chives and parsley, and serve.
