Description

An easy fish recipe the whole family will enjoy. Hake fillets are sprinkled with black pepper and finely chopped onion, and then coated with a creamy lemon butter sauce infused with garlic and then baked in the oven for a modest 10-12 minutes. The resulting Hake fillets are tender and juicy, with the simple creamy lemon sauce making each mouthful a joy!

1 small onion, finely chopped
½ cup butter
½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F)
Place the hake fillets in a baking tray, pat dry and sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper and the chopped onion.
In a microwaveable jug or bowl, add the butter, cream, garlic, mustard, lemon juice and salt and microwave for 60 seconds, stopping half way through to stir.
Pour sauce over the fish fillets, making sure to coat them evenly.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until fish is cooked through and doesn’t appear translucent.
Remove from the oven, serve over a bed of savoury rice or alongside baby potatoes and green beans. Ladle over any extra sauce from the baking tray, sprinkle fish with chopped fresh parsley and add lemon slices for extra garnish.

Notes

I have listed an ordinary onion for this recipe however, you can quite easily use shallots or eschalots instead.
