This is the ultimate, simple but darn delicious weeknight dinner. During weeks like this one, the last thing I feel like doing is slaving over the stove. My time is limited but the family still want something delicious for dinner (and so do I). This is where fish fits in quite perfectly. It cooks in minutes plus it’s healthy and tasty.
Instead of my normal pan-fried hake, I wanted to do something a little different so I made a creamy, spiced sauce to cover the hake with and baked it all off until the fish was perfectly flaky and the sauce had reduced a little. It was absolutely scrumptious. I served my hake with spiced rice (2 cardamom pods and 1 tablespoon mustard seeds added to my rice as it cooked) but you could, of course, serve it with plain steamed rice or no rice at all. If you’d like to do a carb-free version of this meal (which seems to be all the rage right now), simply serve the hake with blanched sugar snap peas and steamed broccoli.
All in all, a delectable, satisfying dinner which can be served well under 30 minutes (depending on the sides you serve it with).
