hake fillets

🥗Healthier: cod fillets

💰Cheaper: tilapia fillets

Cod is a lean alternative, while tilapia is often less expensive.

black olives

🥗Healthier: green olives

💰Cheaper: canned black olives

Green olives provide a different flavor profile, while canned options are often cheaper.

white wine

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with lemon juice

Vegetable broth adds flavor without alcohol, and water with lemon is an economical substitute.

Prepare hake by cutting it into two fillets and scoring the skin.

Season the fillets with olive oil, black pepper, and salt.

Pan-fry the fillets skin side down until crispy, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove the fillets from the pan and let them rest on a plate.

In the same pan, add more olive oil and soften the onions without coloring them.

Add cherry tomatoes and cook until they start to break down.

Stir in black olives and lemon zest to the sauce.

Tear in fresh basil and mix well before plating.
