Oven-Baked Saithe in Lemon and Apple Sauce

Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Cut the saithe fillet into portions and season with the salt and pepper.
Finely grate the lemon zest and squeeze the juice.
Place the fish portions into a greased ovenproof dish along with the whole garlic cloves.
Drizzle with the olive oil and scatter the lemon zest on top.
Slice the spring onion into thin rings.
In a small saucepan, bring the lemon juice, spring onion, and apple juice to a boil.
Stir in the flour, bring to a brief boil until slightly thickened, and pour the sauce over the fish.
Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
Serve the fish straight from the baking dish alongside cooked vegetables and flatbread.
