Recipe tips

Try using different herb combinations, such as parsley and dill or coriander and chives.
This topping is suitable for mackerel fillets, haddock, river cobbler or tilapia.
You could allow the sauce to cool then spread over the fish and refrigerate until needed.
Remove from the fridge for 10 minutes before cooking as normal.
