Oven-Roasted Hake with Lemon and Herbs

1.Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the four hake fillets in a single layer.

2.In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Season this mixture with the kosher salt and black pepper.

3.Place the hake fillets in the prepared baking dish. Pour the herb and lemon oil mixture evenly over the fish, ensuring each fillet is coated.

4.Arrange the thin lemon slices directly on top of the hake fillets.

5.Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the hake is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork. The exact time will depend on the thickness of the fillets.

6.Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Let the fish rest for 2 minutes.

7.Garnish generously with freshly chopped parsley before serving immediately.
