I really like this hake recipe as it was very simple to cook and really quite delicious. I learnt some new flavour combinations that I have not tried before but I will definitely repeat again. One big takeaway from this recipe is the Salsa Verde recipe. Making it fresh delivers a flavour punch that makes you want to use it on all sorts of dishes. If you have too much, you can put it in a jar covered with olive oil. It should last for a week or so.

This recipe uses millet as an alternative to carbs which is great for those on an alkali diet.

This Hake with Salsa Verde, Millet & tomato recipe is one that I will be cooking again and again.
