Servings: people

Ingredients

4 hake filets, 400 g
1 cup peas, 145 g
1 cup fish broth, 240 ml
1 onion, finely chopped, 100 g
1 clove garlic, minced
½ cup parsley, chopped (or cilantro, or a blend of both), 30 g
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional: for velvety richness)
Salt, pepper, and lime for marinating

Instructions

Infuse the hake with flavor by marinating it in a mix of salt, pepper, garlic, and a touch of lime. Allow it to marinate while preparing the sauce.
In a pot, put the oil and sauté onions and garlic until softened. Add fish broth, peas, and herbs (parsley or cilantro). Simmer until it forms a flavorful base for poaching the hake.
Place the marinated hake fillets into the pot. Generously coat them with the green sauce, cover, and simmer on medium heat for 10-15 minutes until the fish is cooked.
Dissolve a teaspoon of cornstarch in a quarter cup of fish broth. Whisk it into the simmering sauce five minutes before the dish is ready for a touch of velvety richness.
