    Cook's tips

    Use any type of pesto for this dish; it works with all. The topping can be used on any firm white fish or with chicken fillets.

    Drinks recommendation

    The firm texture of this fish combined with the
    Italian flavours of pesto and Parmigiano Reggiano
    suit a fresh and lightly aromatic white such as the medal-winning Araldica La Luciana 2008 Gavi,
    Piedmont, Italy.
