Paul Flynn's hake with asparagus, new potatoes and lemon: Today

Ingredients

Serves: 1

  • 1 bunch of thin asparagus
  • 4 new potatoes, cooked, peeled and halved
  • 1 garlic clove, sliced
  • juice of ½ lemon
  • 50ml olive oil
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 sprig of fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
  • 1 x 140g fillet of hake, skinned and boned

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 185°C.
  2. Trim the bottom third of the asparagus and discard
  3. Put the spears in a roasting tin along with the cooked, halved potatoes, garlic, lemon juice, oil, water and thyme or rosemary (if using)
  4. Put the fish on top and turn it to coat it in the oil mixture, then season with salt and pepper.
  5. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes or so - this will depend on the thickness of the fish. If you feel it needs a little more time, just pop it back in the oven for another minute or two.
  6. Transfer the asparagus and potatoes to a plate and serve the fish on top
