Baked Hake and Smashed Spuds
Easy
Baked Hake and Smashed Spuds – we are pretty spoiled to be living on an island and surrounded by the ocean – we should make the most of it. I try to eat fish two or three times a week. This baked hake is full of flavour and goes really well with the smashed spuds. Get this recipe and more great recipes from Derval O’Rourke’s cookbook Food For the Fast Lane

Ingredients
- 4 x 100g hake fillets, skinned and pinboned
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- juice of 1 lime
- a handful of chopped fresh chives
- 600g baby potatoes, unpeeled
- 4 handfuls of mixed leaves
- a handful of pumpkin seeds
- a handful of Sweet & Sticky Pecans (p.166)

FOR THE HAKE:
FOR THE SPUDS:
FOR THE SALAD:
Method
- 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4. Line a baking tin with foil.
- 2. Place the hake fillets on the prepared tin. Lightly coat them with olive oil and season generously. Drizzle over the lime juice and sprinkle over the chives. Cover the fillets with foil and set aside.
- 3. Boil the potatoes in salted water for 10–15 minutes, until tender. Drain well, then spread them out on a large roasting tin. Use the back of a fork or a rolling pin to smash the potatoes so that they are flattened and broken up (but not mashed). Season the smashed potatoes and give them a generous drizzle of olive oil. Bake the hake and potatoes for 20–30 minutes, until piping hot and cooked through.
- 4. When you are ready to serve, place all of the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Drizzle over a little olive oil and toss well.
- 5. Divide the cooked hake between warmed serving plates and serve with the smashed potatoes and salad.
