Recipe byCatherine Fulvio

What’s a “drizzle”? Well, in my book it’s a quick uncooked sauce, so it’s a pretty useful recipe. Fresh herbs are a must for a good “drizzle”. The drizzle here is very versatile so use a mix of herbs like dill and some fresh thyme or coriander to spoon over roasted cod or even monk fish – so fresh and healthy.

Ingredients

  • 4 x 120g haddock fillets, skinned and pinned
  • 100g diced pancetta
  • 4 large sprigs of dill
  • 1 lemon, sliced in 8
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • For the lemon parsley drizzle:
  • 3 tbsp. chopped parsley
  • 60 ml rapeseed oil
  • 1 cucumber, peeled into ribbons (use a vegetable peeler to get ribbons)
  • 1 lemon, zest and juice
  • 1 tbsp. chopped dill
  • Parsley sprigs, for garnishing

Print this recipePreparation

  • Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan 170°C/gas 5. Line a roasting tray with parchment.

  • Place the haddock fillet on the tray and tuck each end in. Sprinkle a little paprika on top, salt and freshly ground black pepper on top. Place a sprig of dill on top of each fillet and then arrange 2 lemon slices on top and drizzle with oil. Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for about 12 minutes until the fish is just cooked.

  • In the meantime, heat a frying pan over a medium heat and add the diced pancetta, sauté until crispy.

  • To make the drizzle, mix together the oil, lemon juice and zest and the chopped herbs. Check the seasoning adding salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

  • To serve, place the cucumber ribbons on a plate, lift the fish on top, spoon over the drizzle and then spoon over the crispy pancetta. Garnish with small sprigs of parsley and serve immediately.

Tip: If you have any extra herbs leftover, don’t throw them out, chop them finely and freeze in ice cubes with a little water and you can drop them straight into casseroles or soups – making your life a little easier.
