Baked Hake with Sauce Verte

Good Pair Days -
  • 150g butter
  • 250g panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp salt
  • Glug of olive oil
  • 4 x 150g hake fillets (skin-on)
  • For the Sauce Verte
  • 1 bunch of parsley
  • ½ bunch of tarragon
  • 4 anchovy fillets
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • 2 chopped garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 1 lemon, zest only
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • Preheat the oven to 200C. Melt the butter in a pan and add the salt and breadcrumbs, then cook until golden. Remove to a plate. Add some oil to the pan and cook the hake fillets for 4 mins, then flip over and top with the breadcrumbs. Transfer to the oven to bake for 4-5 mins, or until cooked through.
  • Blend the ingredients - except for the oil - for the sauce in a food processor, then slowly drizzle in the oil with the motor running, until a smooth sauce is achieved. Serve alongside the baked hake, with a fresh green salad or whatever sides you fancy.
