michelleparkinphotography developed this recipe for @pesto_princess using our hake and their harissa paste. Harissa paste is made from chillies and red peppers, some garlic, oil and spices all blended to a paste that you can basically add to any dish. The Pesto Princess version is not mind-blowingly hot and I use it all the time.

Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut cream
- Tbsp lime juice
- ½ Tbsp fish sauce
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 cube or sachet fish stock concentrate
- 2 Tbsp Pesto Princess Harissa Paste
- 2 hake fillets approximately 375 g each

- Gently remove the cooked fish and keep warm.
