By Abigail Donnelly
4
Easy
15 to 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 800 g firm-fleshed hake fillets
  • ½ cup finely chopped parsley
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 4 smashed anchovies
  • 2-3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 T olive oil

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Arrange firm-fleshed hake fillets on a baking tray and season to taste. Top with slices pancetta or Parma ham.

Combine finely chopped parsley with the juice of 1 lemon, smashed anchovies, sprigs fresh thyme and  olive oil.

Drizzle over the fish, then bake for 15–20 minutes, or until succulent but still firm.
