Leave the fish to thaw, ideally at room temperature or, for an even better result, leave it in the fridge, preferably overnight. This step is essential to maintain the texture and flavor of the hake. Once the fish has completely thawed, start scaling it. Use a sharp knife and a gentle motion to avoid damaging the flesh. Cut off the fins and head, then completely split the fish open along the belly and remove all the intestines. Proper cleaning is crucial to achieve a tasty and healthy dish. Rinse the fish under cold running water, ensuring no impurities remain, then let it drain. The next step is to remove the backbone, considering that hake has no bones, just this backbone. After you have completed this process, rinse the fish again to ensure it is clean, then use a paper towel to dry it thoroughly. Now, drizzle the hake with lemon juice, add salt and pepper to taste, and let it marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to enhance its flavor. Meanwhile, prepare the potatoes. Peel them and grate them using a large-hole grater. Squeeze the potatoes well to remove excess water, then mix them with breadcrumbs, finely chopped parsley, and the two garlic cloves, which you can crush or finely chop. Season this mixture with salt and pepper to your liking to create a composition rich in flavors. Next, take the fish fillets and place them in a heat-resistant dish, skin side down. Cover each piece of fish with a layer of the potato mixture, about 1 cm thick, and press gently to bind everything together. Drizzle the dish with olive oil to give it a nicely browned crust and sprinkle the remaining crushed garlic on top. Place the dish in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 20 minutes, or until the fish is fully cooked and the potatoes turn golden and crispy. Serve the dish while it is hot, alongside an appropriate sauce, such as a yogurt sauce with herbs or a spicy sauce, to complement its flavor. This baked hake with potatoes recipe is a perfect choice for a special meal, as well as for a family dinner, being both healthy and delicious. Bon appétit!
