by

p-fishpestotoppingOur fellow fish friends are having a bit of a hard time at the moment, so be sure to look out for the sustainable kind in your supermarket.

Takes: 20 min

Serves: 4

What You’ll Need:

  • 2 Tbsp nut butter pesto (see page 90)
  • 85g/3oz fresh breadcrumbs
  • Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
  • 4 white fish fillets

What To Do:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6.
  • Mix the pesto with the breadcrumbs and lemon zest.
  • Lay the fish skin-side down on a baking tray and press the breadcrumb and pesto mixture over each fillet, to cover the surface of the fish. Bake for 10 minutes, until just cooked through, then serve with a simple salad and some new potatoes.
