... order the ingredients bundle from our SHOP
1 hake fillet (approx. 250g)
butter
1 lemon
small handful fresh parsley, chopped
seasonal vegetables (100g spinach used in this recipe)
salt
rapeseed oil
- Preheat oven to its highest heat
- Cut the hake fillet in half, brush the hake in oil, sprinkle salt on the skin, and place in a pre-heated frying pan (one you can put in the oven) on the hob, skin side down
- Fry for 5 minutes on the highest heat until the skin is crispy but not burnt
- Put the spinach on to steam – keep an eye on it; it should be gently wilted
- Roughly chop the parsley
- Flip the fish skin-side up and place in the oven for a further 4 minutes
- Turn off oven. Carefully remove the pan and place back on the hob. Remove the fish and plate it up. Return plated fish to the oven for 1 minute to keep warm
- Add a good chunk of butter to the pan and melt it. When it smells nutty, squeeze in the juice of the lemon and stir in the chopped parsley
- Remove the fish from the oven, add the spinach to the plate, and spoon the sauce over the fish.
