minced with parsley
minced with garlic
finely chopped and sautéed until golden
or quinoa flour
In a large frying pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and parsley mixture along with the golden onion. Sauté gently, ensuring the garlic does not brown too much.
Season the hake fillets with salt. Place the seasoned hake pieces into the pan with the garlic, parsley, and onion. Cook for 1 minute on each side, adjusting the cooking time slightly depending on the thickness of the fillets.
In a separate glass or bowl, whisk together the fish stock and the spelt flour until the flour is fully dissolved and there are no lumps.
Pour the stock and flour mixture into the frying pan with the hake. Stir gently to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, let it boil for 1 minute. Then, cover the pan with a lid and remove it from the heat.
Allow the hake in sauce to rest, covered, for 2-3 minutes before serving. This allows the flavours to meld and the fish to finish cooking gently.
For an extra burst of freshness, garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley just before serving.
If you prefer a richer sauce, you can add a splash of dry white wine along with the fish stock.
This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed new potatoes or a simple green salad.
