Thai-style green hake with lime and chilli rice

Step by Step

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 190ºC, gas mark 5. Lay a large rectangle of baking parchment on the worktop. Put the leek slices in a small pile on one side of the parchment and sit the hake on top. Season, then add the Thai green herb portion, lime slices, ½ the chilli, plus the oil, soy and fish sauce. Fold the parchment over, crumpling the edges to seal them. Put on a baking tray and bake for 16-18 minutes, until the fish is cooked through and opaque.

Step 2

Meanwhile, cook the rice according to the pack instructions. Stir the remaining chilli, the lime zest and some lime juice through the rice; season. Serve alongside the fish and vegetables from the parchment parcel, squeezing the remaining lime over the fish.
