Roasted Hake & Spuds

My goal with this and a few other recipes lately is to make cooking easier, taking a one-pot meal approach, for tired evenings.

Try to enjoy white fish once a week and oily fish another day to take a break from poultry and red meat.

Potato is a starchy vegetable but it is filling, has good nutrients(potassium, C, B6, B3, B5 and fibre) and goes really well with fish.

200g x 2, 2 Hake or Cod fillets, skin on

135g x 2, 6 small baby potatoes, thinly sliced

30g, 1 small red onion, thinly sliced

40ml, 3 tablespoon olive oil

Herb Dressing

10g, 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

Method

  • Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 6, 200°C (400°F)
  • Prepare the broccoli to steam
  • Spread the potatoes and onion over the base of a large roasting tin. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil, season then toss to coat. Cook in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  • Add in the tomatoes and cook for another 10 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven to Gas Mark 4, 180°C (350°F). Season the fish fillets with a garlic and chilli flakes and add them to the roasting tin, skin side up.
  • Grate the rind off the lemon and reserve for the dressing.
  • Drizzle a little lemon over the fish.
  • Scatter the sliced chilli over the fish. Return to the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes until the skin comes easily away. Remove the skin and bake for another few mins while you make the dressing

Chop or blitz the herb ingredients together with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and serve with the dish. You can add another herb such as dill of you have it.
