This Scandinavian dinner dish offers a clever preparation for four people. Herring fillets are coated with Dijon mustard and wrapped in thin pancetta slices before being rolled and secured. Roasted with bay leaves and lemon, they develop a golden edge. The recipe is ready in 50 minutes and pairs well with simple sides like new potatoes or a crisp salad.

Ingredients

8 herring fillets
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
8 thin slices pancetta
8 bay leaves
1 lemon cut into 8 thin slices
1 tbsp olive oil

Method

Preheat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Place the herring fillets skin side down. Coat each one with mustard and top with a slice of pancetta. Roll each fillet from the tail end into a spiral, securing it with a toothpick, a bay leaf, and a slice of lemon. Arrange the rolls in a baking tray or ceramic dish.
Pour olive oil over the prepared fillets. Place in the oven to roast for 15-20 mins until they are cooked through and the edges begin to turn golden. Serve two rolls per person alongside your choice of accompaniment.
