BUTTERY POTATOES
Place the potato pieces in a pot (with a lid) of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and season. Cover and shake until the butter is melted. Set aside.
PREP THE HERBS
Rinse the fresh herbs. Pick and roughly chop the dill and the parsley. Set aside. Pick and roughly chop ½ the rinsed mint, reserve the whole leaves, and set aside.
ZESTY CRUMB
Place a pan over medium-high heat with 30g of butter and a drizzle of oil. Once melted, add the grated garlic and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Mix through the breadcrumbs until completely coated in the melted butter. Fry until lightly toasted and golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from the heat and mix through the chopped dill, the chopped parsley, the lemon zest (to taste), and seasoning. Remove from the pan and set aside.
CREAMY PEA SALAD
Loosen the creme fraiche with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. To the pot of boiled potato, mix through the peas, the chopped mint (to taste), the loosened crème fraîche, the shredded leaves, and the radish rounds. Season and set aside.
CRISPY HAKE
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). 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 minute, baste the fish with a knob of butter (optional), the juice from 1 lemon wedge, and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan, reserve the pan juices, and season.
