Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Preheat the oven to 220C / fan 200C / gas mark 7. Trim the fennel and cut into 8 wedges. Slice the courgette into 2cm-thick half-moons. Lay the vegetables onto a lined baking tray. Drizzle with 1 tsp oil and season with sea salt and black pepper. Bake for 20-25 mins, until soft and golden.
  2. Meanwhile, zest then halve the lemon. Roughly chop the dill. Drain and rinse the beans. In a large bowl, combine the beans, half the dill, juice from half the lemon, 1 tsp oil and a pinch of sea salt. Mix to combine.
  3. In the last 10 mins of roasting, add the hake to the tray and sprinkle with the lemon zest, 1 tsp oil, sea salt and black pepper. Continue roasting, until the fish is cooked through.
  4. Make the pesto. Add the walnuts to another tray and toast in the oven for 5 mins. Transfer to a board and roughly chop, then add to a small bowl with the remaining dill, juice from the remaining lemon, 2 tsp oil and a pinch of sea salt.
  5. Combine the roast veg and rocket with the bean salad. Serve on plates with the hake flaked on top. Drizzle over the pesto.
