  1. ROAST

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the halved baby potatoes on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. SALAD

    In a salad bowl, combine the shredded salad leaves, the baby marrow ribbons, the sliced onions, the vinaigrette, and season. Set aside in the fridge. Loosen the chimichurri with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Season and set aside.

  3. HAKE

    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. Remove from the pan and season.

  4. DINNER READY

    Dish up the roasted baby potatoes, side with a zingy fresh salad, and the fish. Drizzle the loosened chimichurri over the fish and the potatoes. Cheers, Chef!
