Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C / fan 180C / gas mark 6. Dice the fish into 2cm chunks, place on a lined baking tray and drizzle with 1 tsp oil. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Bake for 8-10 mins, until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the spring onions. Halve the sweetcorn lengthways. Roughly chop the coriander. Halve the lime. Peel the carrots into ribbons. Slice the courgette into 1/2cm thick half-moons.
- Heat a large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium heat. Add the sweetcorn, courgette and half the spring onions. Season with sea salt and pepper and cook for 3 mins.
- Make the broth; heat another large saucepan on medium-high heat. Add the coconut milk, tom yum paste and 150ml hot water (100ml for 1 person). Crumble in half the stock cube and stir. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 mins.
- Add the cooked veg, carrot ribbons, half the coriander and juice from half the lime (to taste) to the broth. Simmer for a final minute, then season with sea salt and pepper. Cut the remaining lime into wedges.
- Serve the soup topped with the hake. Garnish with the remaining coriander, spring onions and lime wedges.
