Grilled herrings with lime salsa

I picked up some herring fillets in the fishmonger in Howth last Friday. We'd never eaten herring before. It is abundant and caught in the North East Atlantic, so it is not like tuna or swordfish which gets hauled from the other side of the world. The fillets were only €1 each which is a very good price considering the labour required to get these off the bone.
It's the right time of year for tomatoes too. No point in eating them when they taste of nothing in the winter.

Serves 2 as a light lunch

Ingredients

3 fillets of herring
10 cherry tomatoes chopped
1 tbsp of capers drained
1 clove of garlic chopped
Juice of one lime
Salt and pepper

Method

Place the herrings on an oiled foil sheet and oil them on top too. A pastry brush makes it easy to cover everything with oil.
Season with salt and pepper.
Grill the herrings for about 3 minutes on each side or until just cooked through. I use the highest setting for the grill - 250 degrees C.
While the fish is grilling mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl.
To serve place the fillets on 2 plates and top with the salsa and juice.
