Chef tips

Thin potato slices cook evenly with the fish.
Do not overcook hake: it should flake with a fork but stay moist.
Baking parchment makes cleanup easier.

Not vegetarian (contains animal products)

Variations

Substitutions for a vegan version

Instead of: 600 g hake fillets

Use: same amount of mashed cooked chickpeas + 1 tbsp nori flakes + 1 tbsp soy sauce

Why: Fish or seafood provides protein and sea umami; you need fibrous texture and maritime flavour without animal products.

Tip: Drain well and mash leaving texture. Adjust salt—soy and nori already season. Cook filling until dry before assembly.
