I have a boring bit of Hake to eat for dinner any culinary ideas?

season it with a little fresh ground pepper and some lemon juice, toss it in a pan with some rosemary infused olive oil and fry it over high heat till just opaque. plate it with a little pan juice and sprinkle it with fresh cut parsley, an extra squeeze of lemon, and a little grey sea salt.

You could also poach it with a little white wine and fish stock then reduce your poaching liquid (while keeping your fish warm) to about ¼ add a about an equal or less (I prefer less) amount fat free half and half and a nice big pinch of saffron threads bring it to a slow boil and add a tablespoon or two of light butter whisking well until smooth. Now with a little salt and pepper you’ve got poached hake with a rich saffron sauce.

You could make a nice bright salsa to go with it: some diced tomatoes, onion, fresh cilantro, chopped green chiles (or jalapeno if you ike hotter). Bake the fish or panfry it, and then top with the salsa mixture and a squeeze of lime juice.

Forget that! It’s a real mess!

I am late for this but the next time you want a really good recipe for fish, try this one. It is for a whole fish but I use it for fillets, I don’t like fish eyes staring at me when I eat. I put it here so you can have a look.

Chili Lime fish, yummmmmmmmmmo!

@rooeytoo I had to giggle at the eye thing!! ty so much

@Just_Justine – I hate those damned eyes, if you have to look at the eyes of what you are eating, that could definitely turn you into a vegetarian!

@rooeytoo they say if you can’t look them in the eye then you shouldn’t eat them loll
