Method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C and line a baking sheet with foil or baking paper.
- Lightly drizzle each crumbed hake fillet with a little olive oil and arrange on the baking sheet. Arrange the sliced fennel around the fillets and drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Grill the hake and fennel for 20-25 minutes.
