Poached Herring Fillets with Dill and Parsley Sauce

Put the carrots and spring onions into a deep-sided frying-pan or large saucepan. Season the fish fillets, roll them up and position them on top of the vegetables. Add the lemon juice and enough water to just cover the fish. Add the peppercorns, a little salt and the bay leaf. Bring to simmering point and cook gently for 5 minutes. Lift the fish and vegetables on to a warmed serving platter and
