Cook's notes
Be sure to pat the hake dry thoroughly after thawing — this will prevent the bed of vegetables from becoming watery.
Very little oil is needed: a thin layer brushed on is enough.
Do not overcook the hake so it remains juicy.
For a richer flavor, add paprika, dry garlic, or Italian herbs.
For lunch, serve with fresh vegetables, buckwheat, or potatoes.
