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

  • Grilled mackerel is always a good idea! Especially when paired with a warm and hearty potato salad 🙌

    Ingredients:
    4 mackerel, butterflied, or 8 fillets, trimmed and pin-boned
    600g baby potatoes
    2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
    3 scallions, finely sliced
    4 tbsp. olive oil
    1 heaped tsp. whole grain mustard
    1 clove garlic, crushed
    2 tbsp. lemon juice
    2 level tbsp. fresh chives
    Zest of 1 lemon
    To serve: Steamed summer vegetables

    Method:
    To cook the potatoes:
    âś… Place the potatoes in a saucepan with enough boiling water to just cover them and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until tender. When the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and then cut them into 2cm cubes.
    âś… Transfer them to a serving bowl and keep them warm.

    To make the dressing:
    âś… Combine the oil, mustard, garlic, lemon juice, zest and chives. Taste and season.
    âś… Stir about 2/3 of the dressing through the potatoes along with the scallions. Reserve the rest of the dressing to drizzle over the cooked mackerel.
    âś… Preheat the grill to high.

    To cook the mackerel:
    âś… Line a grill pan or baking tray with lightly oiled tin foil then lay the fish skin side down.
    âś… Spread the mustard over the mackerel. Season with salt and pepper.
    âś… Place under a hot grill and cook for approximately 6 minutes.

    To serve:
    âś… Serve the mackerel with the warm potato salad, summer vegetables and lemon wedges. Drizzle over the remaining dressing.
