  1. SUCCULENT POTATOES

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the sweet potato wedges on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Spread out in a single layer and roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes.

  2. FRESH GREEK-STYLE SALSA

    Place the halved baby tomatoes, the chopped olives, and ¾ of the chopped basil in a bowl. Crumble in the drained feta, drizzle with oil, and season. Toss to combine and set aside for serving.

  3. IT’S A HAKE BAKE

    When the wedges have 15 minutes remaining, pat the hake dry with paper towel. Coat in oil, the Italian Rub, and the lemon zest to taste. Pop on top of the wedges and return the tray to the oven for the remaining roasting time. On completion, the fish should be cooked through and the sweet potato should be crisping up.

  4. LET’S MIX IT UP

    Loosen the basil pesto with olive oil until drizzling consistency, mixing well to combine. Season to taste and set aside for serving.

  5. BUTTER UP YOUR SPINACH

    Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, sauté the shredded spinach for 3-4 minutes until wilted. Remove from the heat on completion and season.

  6. EASY AS PIE!

    Make a bed of nourishing spinach. On top, plate the hake fillet, sweet potato wedges, and Greek-style salsa next to one another. Drizzle over the basil pesto and garnish with the remaining chopped basil. Serve with a lemon wedge or two, and there you have it: your Mediterranean flavour excursion!
