How To Cook Hake Dishes
Hake recipes are so popular because they are easy to cook in various different ways, giving the final outcome a variety of flavour and textures. Whether you roast it, pan fry it or cook it as part of a delicious and flavorful curry.
How to Fry Hake
To pan fry your hake, coat the fillets in seasoned flour, then heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the hake fillets for 3-4 minutes per side until they turn golden brown and easily flake with a fork.
How to Bake Hake
Another method of cooking hake is to roast it. To achieve the best results, preheat your oven to 200°C, season the hake fillets with salt, pepper and any desired herbs or spices, then place them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
As with all seafood recipes, we recommend using a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of your fish to ensure that it is cooked thoroughly and ready to enjoy.
With either method, you can garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon for added flavour once fully cooked and ready to serve.
