Hake with Wild Mushrooms

This elegant hake with wild mushrooms is a sophisticated yet simple way to enjoy white fish. By grilling the hake until just tender and flakey, you preserve its delicate flavour, while the earthy, sautéed mushrooms provide a savoury depth that elevates the dish. The addition of fresh lemon zest and flat-leaf parsley cuts through the richness of the butter, creating a balanced sauce that feels indulgent without being heavy.

As a high-protein main course, this recipe is an excellent choice for a nutritious midweek meal or a light weekend dinner. Hake is a sustainable and versatile alternative to cod, making it a brilliant staple for any home cook looking to expand their seafood repertoire. Serve this alongside steamed seasonal greens or crushed new potatoes to soak up the delicious garlic butter sauce.
