Grilled kippers, brown butter and parsley
by
Will Holland's grilled kipper recipe elevates this humble smoked fish to a thing of beauty, basting in brown butter for a wonderfully luxurious brunch dish. My brunch menu at Coast is full of dishes I’d love to enjoy while sitting on the terrace overlooking the beach and bay: 'Kippers are one of those things that have to feature on a brunch menu. You can’t beat their sweet succulent smoky flesh, drowned in brown butter, finished with plenty of freshly chopped parsley served with a big chunk of granary toast.'
