Ingredients
- 4 hake fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rinse the hake fillets under cool water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps ensure the fish cooks evenly and prevents it from becoming soggy.
- Drizzle olive oil over a baking sheet or a large baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Place the hake fillets on the baking sheet. Season them with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and dried thyme. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the fillets.
- Arrange lemon slices and cherry tomatoes around and on top of the fillets. The lemon will add flavor and keep the fish moist.
- Drizzle the remaining olive oil over everything.
- Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork. Check at the 15-minute mark to prevent overcooking.
- Serve the baked hake hot with a side of your choice, such as rice or potatoes, and enjoy!
- Tip: If you prefer more crust, you can broil the fillets for an additional 2 minutes at the end, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
