  1. BABY TOTS

    Place the halved baby potatoes in a pot of salted water over high heat. Pop on the lid and bring to the boil. Once boiling, remove the lid, and reduce the heat. Simmer for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and soft. Remove from the heat and drain. Cover with the lid to keep warm.

  2. IN A PICKLE

    While the potatoes are boiling, peel and thinly slice a ¼ of the onion and place in a bowl. Add the dressing and 5ml of a sweetener of choice. Toss until combined and set aside to pickle.

  3. PREPARATION STATION

    Rinse and trim the green beans. Cut the cucumber into half-moons. Roughly dice ½ the tomato. Rinse and roughly shred the salad leaves. Drain and roughly chop the capers.

  4. BEAN THERE, CHEF!

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a splash of water. When starting to bubble, simmer the trimmed green beans for 3-4 minutes until cooked al dente. Toss with a drizzle of oil, season, and remove from the pan.

  5. IT’S A FRY-UP

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). Pat the hake dry with paper towel and season. When the pan is hot, fry the hake, skin-side down, for 3-4 minutes until crispy. Flip, and fry the other side for 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the pan and place on a chopping board. Using two forks, one to secure the hake and the other to flake, gently flake the hake. Discard the skin, if preferred. Season to taste.

  6. TASTY SALAD

    Drain the dressing from the onion and place the dressing in a bowl. Set the pickled onion aside. To the bowl with the dressing, add the boiled potatoes, the chopped capers, the diced tomato, the cucumber half-moons, a drizzle of olive oil, and the cooked green beans. Toss until combined and season to taste.

  7. TIME TO DINE

    Make a bed of the shredded salad leaves. Top with niçoise-style salad, the flaked hake, and the pickled onion. Voilà, Chef!
