One of the most underrated fish that I have ever tried is hake. One of the finest sources of essential fatty acids, protein, minerals and fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin A, E and D. In this recipe you learn how to cook hake in the oven with mustard and ginger sauce.
Hake is a benthic (demersal) fish that prefers to live close to ocean bed in deep waters at a depth of 70-300 mts. They are voracious predators and feed on small fish, crustaceans, and fish eggs. During the night they return to surface waters.
There are always recipes that can be labelled as “traditional” and there are others that can be labelled as more “modern”. Those that can be named as traditional are ones which ussualy come from generation to generation and they were introduced to me my from my mother and my relatives.
Some others though come up naturally when you try to mix up things when it’s Sunday on your home and have some time to be creative. So how can you be creative in cooking?Well, fish is one place to start with.
Having a bad night where everything goes wrong is not good for you. You are waiting Friday night to finish work and go out and enjoy yourself, go to the festival you booked tickets months ago and party hard, just to find that it is cancelled due to overcrowding.
Yeah, its not good. The only thing that is left for you is going back home and think about a night that could have gone so well but it didn’t. What to do next day? Well, option number 1 is to sit there and do nothing or you can choose option 2 and get over it with cooking something really nice that it will make you forget it.
I choose number two.
Simple things always work better!
Ok to be honest you have many more options on what to do the following day in such a situation, but i had to start the article in some way.. 🙂
After some extensive research i managed to find the following way to cook a salmon fillet i had on the fridge…and forget the unfortunate cancellation of the previous day.
Simple stuff always help.
Take your thick, salmon fillet and add salt and pepper from both sides. Put it in a nice baking tray add a bit of water and olive oil and place it on a tray, place it on the oven and start cooking it on high heat . In the same time in glass, add mustard, olive oil, salt and pepper. While your salmon is beeing cooked pour the sauce on top and change sides.
After 30-40 minutes it should be ready. Take the glass with your sauce, add some dill and stir it well. Pour it again on top and serve with salad if you want.
