Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 hoki fillets approx. 6 oz [170g] each
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs 60g
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil 30ml
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme 10ml
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary 5ml
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon for zest and juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon parsley finely chopped (15ml)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse the hoki fillets and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add the lemon zest and minced garlic into the breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Drizzle olive oil over the hoki fillets.
  6. Press each fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated on both sides.
  7. Place the coated hoki on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish easily flakes with a fork.
  9. Once out of the oven, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the Herb-coated hoki and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Notes

Always use fresh hoki for the best flavor.
Avoid overcooking the fish, as it can become dry.
For an added crunch, consider using panko breadcrumbs instead.
If you like your Herb-coated hoki a bit spicy, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture.
Herb-coated hoki pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh garden salad. Consider placing the fillet atop a bed of quinoa or couscous for a fuller meal. Don’t forget a slice of lemon on the side for those who enjoy an extra zest!
