INGREDIENTS

  • 4 hake fillets
  • 15ml SPAR Olive Oil
  • 30ml SPAR Lemon Juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 x 400g can SPAR Cannellini Beans, drained
  • 250g SPAR Freshline cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 SPAR Freshline cucumber, diced
  • Parsley
  • Salt and Black Pepper, to taste

CHEF’S TIP

Pat the hake dry before seasoning so it bakes rather than steams.

HOW TO MAKE IT

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C. Place the hake on a lined tray. Brush with half the olive oil and lemon juice, add garlic and season.
  2. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily and is cooked through.
  3. Combine the beans, tomatoes, cucumber and parsley. Dress with the remaining olive oil and lemon juice.
  4. Serve the baked hake with the bean salad.

GOOD TO KNOW

  1. Freezer friendly? NO
  2. Leftovers? – Refrigerate for up to 1 day.
