  • 2 x 160g Pollack Fillet Portions (Skinless)

  • 120g pouch of Salsa Verde

  3. Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until cooked through. The cooking time will vary slightly depending on thickness of the fillet, so do check.
  4. Rinse your Basmati Rice well, then place into a pan of boiling salted water for 8 – 10 minutes, drain and allow to steam while plating up the other ingredients.
  5. To serve, arrange the Fennel on the plate and lay the Pollack on top. Dress with the Salsa Verde. Accompany this with the rice and a small Green Salad.
