Preparation
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients. You can use ready-cut hake fillets or fillet a whole fish yourself. Chilled fish works well, but if using frozen hake, thaw it completely in the refrigerator before cooking.
Step 2
Pat the fish dry. Hake fillets are often quite long, so cut them into several smaller pieces for easier serving.
Step 3
Prepare an ovenproof baking dish or individual ovenproof dishes. Arrange the hake fillets snugly in the dish.
Step 4
Season the fish lightly with salt. If desired, add ground pepper, garlic, thyme, rosemary, mint or a few lemon slices according to taste.
Step 5
Drizzle the fish with vegetable oil. You can use sunflower, corn or olive oil.
Step 6
Spread the sour cream evenly over the fish. Choose any fat content you prefer. If desired, you can replace the sour cream with mayonnaise, cream or plain unsweetened yogurt.
Step 7
Cover the dish with foil and bake in an oven preheated to 355°F for about 30 minutes, until the fish is fully cooked. For a browned top, remove the foil during the final 10–15 minutes of baking.
Step 8
Serve the baked hake immediately while hot.
