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.

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.

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.
