Cooking Time: 0 hr 20 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic
  • 80g mixed leaves (rocket, herbs, mustard leaf etc)
  • 25g roughly grated Parmesan
  • 80ml olive oil

1 Preheat your oven to 200 degrees. Place the garlic, mixed leaves, Parmesan, olive oil and lemon juice into a blender or food processor. Mix till it forms a rough paste. Season to taste with plenty of black pepper and salt. It may need a little more lemon juice. Set aside.

2 Drizzle a little olive oil on a tray. Place the fish on top and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the slices of chorizo onto the fish. Cook in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until the fish is cooked through and the chorizo is crisp.

3 Meanwhile, place the beans with a few tablespoons of water into a small pan over a high heat. Once they're warm and the water has evaporated, stir through the pesto. Divide the beans between four plates and top with the fish.
