Cooking Steps

Get Started
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Trim the bottom 2cm from the asparagus and discard. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Zest and halve the lemon. Halve the baby plum tomatoes.

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and a pinch of lemon zest with the olive oil for the crumb (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper, then mix well. 

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with ½ tsp salt for the linguine.

Into the Oven
2

Pat the hake dry with kitchen paper.

Lay the hake, skin-side down, onto one side of lined baking tray. Spread the mayonnaise over the top and sides of the fish and top with the breadcrumb mixture. Press it down with a spoon.

Pop the asparagus alongside the hake. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.

When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until the crumbs are golden and the fish is cooked through, 14-16 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish. It's cooked when opaque in the middle.

Cook the Pasta & Samphire
3

Meanwhile, when boiling, add the linguine to the water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.

Add the samphire to the linguine in the last 3 mins of cook time.

Once cooked, drain in a colander, reserving some of the pasta water (see pantry for amount) in a jug for later.

Pop the pasta and samphire back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

Simmer Simmer
4

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the chorizo and fry until it starts to brown, 3-4 mins.

Once browned, add the baby plum tomatoes and stir-fry, 2-3 mins more.

Next, add the garlic, chilli flakes (add less if you'd prefer things milder), sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). Simmer, squishing the tomatoes down with the back of a fork or spoon, until they've broken down and the sauce has thickened, 3-4 mins. 

All Together Now
5

Once the sauce has thickened, remove from the heat.

Stir in the linguine and samphire along with the caramelised onion paste, cheese and reserved pasta water until melted and combined. Season with salt and pepper.

Vigourously stir in the butter (see pantry for amount). Add in a good squeeze of lemon juice. Taste and season with more salt, pepper and lemon juice if you feel it needs it.

Add a splash of water if it looks a little dry.

Serve Up
6

When everything's ready, share the chorizo, tomato and samphire linguine between serving bowls. 

Top with the breaded hake and roasted asparagus.

Serve any remaining lemon cut into wedges for squeezing over to finish.
