Neven Maguire’s Pan-fried Hake with Lemon and Herb Butter Sauce @BordBia @macneanhouse

pan-fried-hake-with-lemon-and-herb-butter-sauce2

 Of course this recipe is great with just parsley but experiment with a combination of soft fragrant herbs sauce as parsley, chives, tarragon or chervil depending on what’s available.

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 4 x 175g hake fillets, skin on and boned
  • 1 tablesp. olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 50g butter
  • ½ lemon, pips removed
  • 1 tablesp. chopped mixed herbs (parsley, chives and tarragon)

To Cook

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and add the seasoned hake fillets, skin side down. Cook for a couple of minutes until the skin is just beginning to crisp, then add little knobs of butter to the pan around each hake fillet and cook for another couple of minutes until the skin is crisp.

Turn the hake fillets over and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. This will depend on the thickness of the fillets. Transfer to warmed plates while you make the sauce.

Add the rest of the butter to the frying pan and allow it to gently melt over a moderate heat. When it has melted, add a squeeze of lemon juice and the herbs, swirling to combine. Season to taste. Spoon this sauce over the hake fillets and serve with steamed broccoli and some sautéed new potatoes.

Serving Suggestions

Steamed broccoli and sauté new potatoes

Tips

Above all be careful not to overcook the fish.  To check, gently prod the thickest part of the fish with a small knife.  If it is cooked, the flesh will look opaque and the flakes will separate easily.  If it isn’t done yet, it will still have the translucent look for raw fish.

Other fish you could use: Whiting, haddock or trout fillets

Neven’s Recipes -Crispy Salmon, Pomegranate, Couscous. Marty in the Morning @rte Lyric FM

Ingredients

  • 250g (9oz) couscous
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus a little extra, if liked
  • 500ml (18fl oz) boiling water
  • 75g (3oz) rice flour
  • 1 tbsp sumac, plus extra to garnish
  • 150g (5oz) organic salmon fillets, pin-boned and skinned
  • 75g (3oz) toasted pumpkin seeds
  • 2 tbsp flax seeds finely grated rind of 1 lemon
  • 2 large handfuls of watercress
  • 1 small pomegranate, halved and seeds removed (skin discarded)
  • lemon wedges, to garnish
  • HARISSA YOGHURT:
  • 2 heaped tbsp thick Greek yoghurt
  • 2 tsp harissa paste
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

Neven Says: “This is a super-healthy dish packed full of omega-3. Sumac is made from the dried berries of a flowering plant that are ground to produce an acidic, reddish- purple powder that is very popular in the Middle East.

Place the couscous in a heatproof bowl and season well, then stir in 1 teaspoon of the oil. Pour over the boiling water, cover tightly with cling film and set aside.

Heat the rest of the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium to high heat. Put the rice flour in a shallow dish with the sumac and season generously with salt and pepper. Dust the salmon in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Add to the heated oil in the frying pan and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, until crisp and golden.

Meanwhile, fluff up the couscous with a fork, then fold in the pumpkin seeds and flaxseeds with the lemon rind. At the last moment, roughly chop the watercress and toss it through the couscous with the pomegranate seeds.

Mix the yoghurt and harissa together in a small bowl and season to taste. Cover with cling film and chill until needed.

Arrange the crispy salmon on plates and add an extra light sprinkling of sumac. Add a small mound of the couscous, then drizzle over a little extra olive oil, if liked. Garnish with lemon wedges and add a spoonful of the harissa yoghurt to serve.

    Sausage ‘Nduja Pasta
    Serves 2-4
    Ingredients
    1 Pack Simply Better 6 Irish Pork Honey & Mustard Sausages
    1 Tbsp. Simply Better Toscano IGP Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    1 Jar Simply Better Italian Tomato & ‘Nduja Pasta Sauce
    4 Tbsp. Simply Better Creamy Italian Mascarpone
    1 Packet Simply Better Italian Fresh Strascioni Pasta
    4 Heaped Tbsp. Simply Better Parmigiano Reggiano PDO Finely Grated

    Method
    1. Heat a skillet pan over a medium to high heat. Using a small sharp knife cut down the length of the sausages to remove from the casings. Add the oil to the pan and then add the sausages and cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking them up with a cooking spoon until sizzling and golden brown.
    2. Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water for 4 minutes until ‘al dente’.
    3. Stir the tomato & ‘nduja sauce into the sausages and allow to bubble up. Add the mascarpone and season to taste. Drain the pasta, reserving a cup full of the water and fold into the sauce, adding enough of the reserved water to achieve a smooth sauce. Fold in the cooked pasta and divide among bowls, then scatter over the Parmigiano and basil leaves to serve.
