How to cook pan-fried Hake with Salsa Verde

capers

🥗Healthier: chopped green olives

💰Cheaper: pickles

Chopped green olives provide a similar briny flavor.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is less expensive and neutral in flavor.

butter

🥗Healthier: ghee

💰Cheaper: margarine

Margarine can be a cheaper substitute for butter.

hake fillets

🥗Healthier: cod fillets

💰Cheaper: pollock fillets

Pollock is often less expensive and still flaky.

Rub a little bit of olive oil on the hake with your fingers.

Prepare the salsa verde by mixing parsley, basil, capers, olive oil, salt, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice in a bowl.

Heat a large skillet and add a little butter, letting it turn brown.

Place the hake in the pan, pushing it away from you as you drop it in.

Check for doneness by looking for a white line coming up the side of the fish.

Baste the fish with the browned butter while it finishes cooking.

Once the hake is cooked, place it in the middle of a warm plate.

Drizzle the salsa verde over the edges of the fish.
