Hake is an ocean fish, and therefore fresh it can be bought only by living near the ocean. Therefore, it goes to the store shelves frozen - in the form of a fillet or a whole carcass.
Among the variety of fish hake is famous for its tender meat and a small number of bones.
If we compare the hake with the cod with which they are related, it can be noted that the hake has a more fatty meat and less fatty liver.
After heat treatment, the hake meat is easily separated from the ridge, which makes this fish suitable for baking.
The subtleties of cooking a hake baked in the oven
Heck baked on the same principle as cod. It can be baked with vegetables, in sour cream, with any other sauce, with cheese.
When baking, hake turns out juicy, but still it should not be kept in the oven for a long time. 25 minutes is enough to get a fully cooked meal. Given the speed of cooking this fish, do not add to it the products that are long prepared.
If you are baking hake with potatoes, choose such potatoes that are well boiled soft. Cut it into thin slices and lay out the first layer (under the fish). Then the potatoes are soaked with fish juice, and the hake itself during baking will be covered with a delicious crust.
Heke can be baked whole (if the size of the oven allows), cut into steaks or in the form of fillets.
To make the fish juicy, use the foil. Thanks to it, fish juice will not spill out and the fish will turn out very tasty.

Mistress of the note
Knowing the principle of roasting fish, you can change the ratio of ingredients, replace one product with another. For example, if you like spicy dishes, instead of black pepper, put red, and replace sour cream with tomato paste. But in this case add some sugar and coriander to the sauce. Fish will get a savory taste and spicy flavor.
If you fry fish in a pan before baking, be sure to marinate it in a mixture of salt and pepper. Such fish during roasting will not fall apart and will not stick to the dishes.
