A Quick Fish Dish

Fish is a quick and simple option for a no fuss dinner. The obvious accompaniment is potato and for this dish I have chosen mash but with a little twist.

Basil Seasoned Hake with Baby Spear Asparagus and Spring Onion Mash:

A dish impressive in its simplicity.

    • Fold up into a parcel and place fish in the oven for 10 - 15 minutes (don't overcook)
