Baked fish makes such a lovely quick dinner – it's easier than you think to cook too, you just need to pack in the flavour when using white fish fillets. Step in our punchy seed and courgette pesto that creates a tasty and crunchy topping. Serve with a dressed salad of potatoes, tomatoes and rocket for a light and healthy summery meal. See method

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the onion in a bowl and cover with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt; set aside, stirring occasionally.
  2. Boil the potatoes in a pan for 10-15 mins until tender; drain well.
  3. Meanwhile, line a baking tray with baking paper and add the basa fillets. Mix the pesto with the breadcrumbs, then spread over the top of the fish. Bake for 12 mins or until cooked through.
  4. Add the tomatoes and rocket to the onion mix and drizzle over the oil. Add the cooked potatoes, mix well and season to taste. Serve with the fish.

Tip: This dish uses pesto from our tagliatelle with pumpkin seed and courgette pesto recipe.
