Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
  • 4 - x 200g portions firm white fish (use kob or kingklip)
  • - seasoned cake flour
  • - olive oil
  • - TOPPING
  • 8 - sun-dried tomatoes in vinaigrette
  • 80ml - black olives, pitted and chopped

  • 1 - tin anchovy fillets
  • 30ml - capers
  • 3 - garlic cloves
  • 45-60ml - olive oil

Method
White wine is traditionally served with fish but in this case a light red blend or even a rosé will complement the delicious Mediterranean flavours.

Oven temperature: 220°C

1 Lightly dust the fish fillets with seasoned cake flour and shake off the excess. Place the fillets side by side in a greased ovenproof dish.

2 Prepare the topping: Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend to form a coarse paste. Spread over the fish fillets and bake in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes.
