To make the dressing, combine some Lemon juice to taste and 20ml of olive oil in a bowl. Mix in three-quarters of the chopped mint and season to taste.
SALSA SAUTÉ

Add half of the Cajun Rub to taste and sauté for 2-3 minutes until heated through and fragrant. Season to taste and remove from the pan on completion. Set aside for serving.

PAN FRY THE HAKE
Wipe down the pan if necessary and return to a medium heat with another drizzle of oil. Pat the hake dry with some paper towel. Coat in the remaining Cajun Rub and seasoning.
