Ingredients
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
For the fish, pour the lime juice over the fish fillets. Leave for half an hour while you prepare the crust.
For the crust, cut the bread into chunks and place in a roasting tin. Place the chorizo on top of the bread.
Transfer to the oven and cook for 15 minutes. As the heat increases, the fat from the sausage will run into the bread chunks. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
Once cool, place the bread and sausage into a blender or food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add the garlic, lime zest, parsley, parmesan and freshly ground black pepper. Process again to combine the ingredients.
