Step-by-step
- Place the gooseberries and white wine into a pan and bring to the boil, allow the gooseberries to fully cook and soften. Place into a blender and liquidize on full power until smooth.
- Add a little lemon juice and a sprinkling of caster sugar to sweeten slightly.
- Reserve to one side.
- Remove any visible pin bones from the herring.
- Finely chop the walnut halves and mix with the breadcrumbs. Add the lemon zest, tarragon, season with salt and pepper and add enough walnut oil to moisten the breadcrumbs. A good test is to squeeze a little bit together and it should stick between your fore finger and thumb.
- Place the herring fillet on a buttered baking tray, brush with walnut oil and press down a liberal amount of breadcrumbs over the surface of the fish.
- Place in a hot oven 200ºC for approx 5 minutes or until the fish is just cooked.
- Serve with the gooseberry puree and a garnish of mixed salad leaves.
