For a fast, fresh combo with a bold chilli kick, try Hake with Peri Peri Peppers from OcadoLife recipe editor Lauren Hoffman. For even more flavour, you can steam the fish in a little veg stock instead of water. Serving with microwave rice keeps this nice and speedy, but swap in another side if you prefer – quinoa works well.Time and servings
