Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Put the fish onto a non-stick baking sheet and season all over. Mix the dill and soft cheese in a small bowl, then stir in the prawns, taking care not to break them up. Season with black pepper, then spread evenly over the fish.

  • step 2

    Brush the filo sheets with the oil, then cut into thick strips. Scrunch the pastry up a little and crumple on top of the fish. Scatter with parmesan, then bake for 10 mins until the fish is cooked through and the pastry is crisp and golden. (If you’ve used raw prawns, check they’re cooked through.) Serve with green beans or a salad with your choice of potatoes.

RECIPE TIPS
MAKE IT MEDITERRANEAN

Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Put the fish fillets (and the prawns if you like) into a baking dish then top with a 300g pot ready-made tomato sauce. Sprinkle over a generous handful chopped black or green olives then top with the filo, crumpling it as before. Scatter with the parmesan and bake for 15 mins, until the pastry is crisp and golden and the sauce bubbling.

question

How far ahead can you make this? Doesn't the pastry have to be last minute?

Thanks for your questions. You could assemble these on the morning of when you want to have them and keep them in the fridge until ready to cook.

This is lovely, will make again with the Mediterranean version. We used Philadelphia Light garlic and herb soft cheese and it was really nice, everything went well together.
