ROAST
Coat the sweet potato pieces in oil, the NOMU rub, and season. Air fry at 200°C until crispy, 15-20 minutes (shifting halfway).
HAKE
When the roast has 8-10 minutes to go, place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the hake dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the hake, skin-side down, until crispy, 3-4 minutes. Flip and fry the other side until cooked through, 3-4 minutes. In the final 30-60 seconds, baste with a knob of butter and the chipotle chillies. Remove from the pan and season.
SALAD
In a salad bowl, combine the lemon juice with a drizzle of olive oil, and mix to emulsify. Add the Cucumber, the salad leaves, the nuts, and season.
TIME TO EAT
Dish up the sweet potatoes, side with the hake, and drizzle over the pan juices. Serve the salad on the side and enjoy, Chef!
