Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add diced chorizo and sauté until browned, about 5 minutes.

Remove chorizo and set aside, leaving the oil in the pan.

Add diced potatoes to the skillet and cook until golden and tender, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in chopped onion and minced garlic; cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Sprinkle in paprika, bay leaves, and red pepper flakes; stir to combine.

Return chorizo to the skillet and mix well with potatoes and onion.

Add hake fillets on top of the mixture; season with salt and black pepper.

Cover the skillet and cook for about 8-10 minutes, until the hake is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges before serving.
