1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Vegetable oil
2 teaspoons	10ml	Butter - melted
2 teaspoons	10ml	Chopped fresh dill
2 teaspoons	10ml	Chopped fresh parsley
1		Marjoram
1 teaspoon	5ml	Finely-chopped shallots
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground white pepper - to taste
2		Lemon slices - thinly sliced,
		With seeds removed
		Parchment paper - for cooking

Recipe Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut out a piece of parchment paper in a heart shape. Make sure the paper is large enough to hold the herring fillet with sufficient room for crimping the edges when folded in half.

Brush the parchment paper with the vegetable oil and place on a work surface oil-side down. Place the herring fillet on the right side of the heart shaped paper. Brush the fillet with melted butter and sprinkle with dill, parsley, marjoram, chopped shallots, salt and white pepper. Lay lemon slices on top.

Fold the paper over the fish and crimp tightly to enclose the fish. Place the folded package in a cold ovenproof frying pan and start to heat the pan slowly. As soon as the paper starts to puff, place the pan in the oven.

Bake for 5 to 8 minutes until parchment if puffed and brown. Cut paper open and serve while hot.
