Hake in herby breadcrumbs is a fairly simple way of serving hake, or any other white fish. It has a nice crunchy texture and subtle flavours from the herbs and pine nuts. It's easily scalable. The details here are for two servings.

Ingredients

Breadcrumb mix

• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• ½ cup chopped herbs (e.g. parsley, tarragon, etc.)
• 1 tablespoon pine nuts
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste

Fish

• 2 ea. (200 g) hake fillets
• 1 egg, beaten
• Lemon juice

Procedure

1. Preheat the oven to gas mark 4.
2. Mix together the breadcrumb ingredients in a food processor, adding the oil last. It should be a slightly moist mixture.
3. Dip each hake fillet in beaten egg, then in the breadcrumb mix. Try to get the fillet evenly coated.
4. Place each fillet in a gratin dish, drizzling a little oil on top.
5. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until the breadcrumbs are browned.
6. Sprinkle some lemon juice on top.
7. Serve with a dressed salad.
