Ingredients:

• 2 fillets of Cornish Sole or Megrim 

• 75g Panko Breadcrumbs 

• 2 tbsp Parmesan, finely grated 

• 1 tbsp finely chopped Parsley 

• 1 tbsp finely chopped Dill 

• 1 tbsp finely chopped Caper 

• 1 tsp Sea salt 

• 1 tbsp Olive oil 

• 1 Lemon, juice 

• 1 large Leek, finely sliced 

• 50g Butter 

• 50ml white wine 

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 180˚C. Start by toasting your breadcrumbs in the oven to make sure they are nice and dry or use crunchy panko breadcrumbs for best results. Toss them in a bowl with chopped herbs, capers and olive oil with your parmesan and a good pinch of salt. 

2. Spoon this mixture onto the Cornish Sole and place on a non-stick silcone matt or baking parchment. Bake the fish for 8-10 minutes. 

3. For the lemony leeks simply melt your butter in a pan and add your sliced leeks. Cook on a medium heat for 8-10 minutes and stir occasionally. Don’t allow to caramelise and if they start to brown, add your white wine to deglaze the pan and reduce the heat a little. 

4. Once they are soft and tender, squeeze in your lemon juice before serving – too early and you will loose the fresh colour. 

5. Serve your herb crusted fish with boiled potatoes and lemony leeks.
