Oven-Baked Hake With Vegetables and Lovage

Ingredients

2 hakes, gutted and cleaned

400 grams zucchini, thinly sliced

20 blacks olives, pitted, cut in half

1 tomato, cut into cubes

1 tablespoon olive oil

For the hake filling:

1 tablespoon olive oil for coating

In a bowl mix zucchini, olives and tomato.

Sprinkle with garlic, lovage and parsley. Season with salt if needed (olives are already salty!).

Pour olive oil onto vegetables, mix.

Season the fish, from outside and inside, with salt.

Fill the fish cavity with parsley, lovage and garlic.

Lightly coat the fish with olive oil.

Line a baking pan with Al foil long enough to completely cover the fish and vegetables.

Place vegetables in the pan, lay the hake on top and cover with foil.

Bake in oven for 15 minutes at 200˚C. Remove the foil and continue to bake for additional 15 minutes.

Serve with cold potato salad.

Moist, delectable hake baked with vegetables and olives.
