I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the fish.

The instructions in this recipe are a bit confusing. I had to read them several times before I understood what I was supposed to do.

This dish is a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt next time I make it.

I'm not a big fan of fish, but this dish is an exception. The smokiness of the herring pairs perfectly with the acidity of the tomatoes and the bitterness of the greens.
