HARISSA-BAKED HAKE
In a bowl, combine the yoghurt, the harissa, ½ the lemon juice (to taste), a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning. Pat the hake dry with paper towel and place skin-side down on a lightly greased baking tray. Coat the flesh in ½ the harissa yoghurt. Bake in the hot oven until cooked through and flakey, 15-20 minutes.

When the beetroot has been in for 10 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and toss through the chopped dates. Return to the oven for the remaining time.
