CRISPY SKIN
Boil the kettle. Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). Pat the hake dry with paper towel and season.

ONE-PAN ORZO
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, add the diced onion and fry for 3-4 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Add the grated garlic and fry for 1 minute until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the orzo and mix until coated. Add the wine, the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, the Chicken stock, and 300ml boiling water. Mix until combined and bring to the boil. Cook for 8-12 minutes until the orzo is cooked al dente.
FINISHING TOUCHES
When the orzo has 1-2 minutes remaining, add the halved olives, the Lemon zest (to taste), and ½ the chopped parsley. Top the orzo with the hake, skin-side up. Season with a squeeze of lemon juice (to taste), a sweetener of choice, salt, and pepper.
