Baked hake is one of the easiest ways to cook fish at home. This version uses garlic butter, lemon and parsley for a light but full-flavoured dish that works beautifully with potatoes or green vegetables.

The Ingredients

Delicate oven-baked hake fillet, finished in rich garlic butter and served full of fresh, coastal flavour. Light, flaky and beautifully savoury
  • 4 hake fillets
  • 60g butter, melted
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Lemon wedges, to serve

The Method

Serves: 4

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  2. Place the hake fillets in a baking dish.
  3. Mix the melted butter, garlic, parsley and lemon juice.
  4. Pour over the fish and season well.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the fish flakes easily.
  6. Serve with lemon wedges and boiled potatoes or greens.

Do not overcook hake. It is ready as soon as it flakes with a fork and still looks moist in the centre.
