• Divide spinach and tomatoes between plates. Top with fish and drizzle with olive oil dressing made in the previous step. Season with more sea salt and black pepper if you so desire.

TOP TIPS 

• You can also use salmon fillets. Adjust poaching time depending on thickness of the fillet. Salmon is generally thicker than hake. 
• Want it spicier? Double up on the chilli flakes.
