Hake in Herby Breadcrumbs
Hake in herby breadcrumbs is a fairly simple way of serving hake, or any other white fish. It has a nice crunchy texture and subtle flavours from the herbs and pine nuts. It's easily scalable. The details here are for two servings.

Method 7 steps
Preheat the oven to gas mark 4.
Mix together the breadcrumb ingredients in a food processor, adding the oil last. It should be a slightly moist mixture.
Dip each hake fillet in beaten egg, then in the breadcrumb mix. Try to get the fillet evenly coated.
Place each fillet in a gratin dish, drizzling a little oil on top.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until the breadcrumbs are browned.
Sprinkle some lemon juice on top.
Serve with a dressed salad.
