Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 hake fillets (about 5 oz each)
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup dry white wine (white Rioja suggested)
2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
6 scallions, finely sliced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Season the flour generously with salt and pepper (depending on the size of your fillets, you may need extra seasoned flour).
  • Dredge the skin side of the hake fillets in the seasoned flour, shake off the excess, and set aside.
  • Heat a shallow flameproof casserole over high heat until you can feel the rising heat. Add the oil and heat until hot, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the hake fillets, skin side down, and cook for about 3 minutes until the skin is golden brown.
  • Turn the fish over and season with salt and pepper (to taste).
  • Pour in the wine and add the garlic, scallions, and parsely.
  • Transfer the casserole to oven and bake, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until the fish flakes easily.
