Prep Time 10 minutes

Cooking Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

400 g hake fillets
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Flour, for dusting
Olive oil, for frying
Butter, for frying
400 g mixed mushrooms
25 g Woolworths garlic butter
2 T chives, snipped
Baguette, for serving (optional)

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

2. Slice the fish into 2 or 3 pieces, season and lightly dust with flour. Lightly brown the fish in the oil and butter. Remove from the pan and drain on kitchen paper.
