Method

IF MAKING AHEAD FOR THE FRIDGE OR FREEZER

Cut 4 squares of tin foil roughly 30cm x 30cm in size to make each of the parcels.

Arrange the courgette and tomato slices evenly between the foil squares, layering alternately as you go.

Place the hake fillets on top of the layered vegetables and spread each one with 1 tablespoon of pesto.

Mix the breadcrumbs and cheese in a small bowl and distribute the breadcrumb topping on top of all the fish fillets – the pesto should help the breadcrumbs to stick. Wrap each parcel up carefully.

Place into a labelled freezer bag and freeze flat.

Oven : Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan. Remove the frozen parcels from the freezer bag and place on a baking tray, opening them up slightly at the top. Bake for 30 minutes until the fish is cooked through.

Air Fryer : Preheat the air fryer to 180°C. Remove the frozen parcels from the freezer bag and place in the air fryer, opening them up slightly at the top. Cook for 25 minutes until the fish is cooked through.
