It’s beginning to look a lot like…herring season! Make room for this tasty, cold weather fish on your menu by trying out this simple BBC Good Food recipe. Healthy, quick and scrumptious – what more could you ask for?

Ingredients

• 4 x 75g/3oz herring fillets or 4 x 225g/8oz herrings, gutted
• 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp wholegrain mustard
• large bunch basil, roughly torn
• 1 tsp clear honey
• 1 lemon, grated zest and juice

Directions

1. Heat grill to its highest setting. Rinse the fish under running cold water to dislodge any loose scales. Brush with a little of the oil and season lightly. Grill for 6-8 mins, or until cooked; the eye should be white, the skin well browned and the flesh firm and opaque.
2. Meanwhile, make the dressing: whisk the mustard, basil, honey, lemon zest and juice and remaining oil together in a small bowl, and season. Once the fish is cooked, spoon the dressing over and serve.
