Ingredients:

  • 200g Southstream’s I&J Cape Hake Fillets, skin on and deboned
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped spring onion
  • 60g butter
  • 1/2 lemon, pips removed
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup mushrooms
  • 250g egg noodles

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Stir-Fry: In a frying pan, heat a small amount of butter over medium heat. Add chopped spring onions and mushrooms, cooking until soft, stirring occasionally.
  2. Season the Cape Hake: Season the Cape Hake fillets with salt and pepper. In a large frying pan, heat the remaining butter over medium heat and add the seasoned Cape Hake fillets, skin side down.
  3. Make the Cape Hake: Cook for 2–3 minutes until the skin starts to crisp. Add a bit more butter around each fillet and cook for another minute until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 4 minutes, or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Prepare the Sauce: In the same frying pan, add 30g of butter and let it melt gently over moderate heat. Once melted, squeeze in the lemon juice and add the chopped parsley, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the sauce over the Cape Hake fillets.
  5. Serve: Plate the pan-fried Cape Hake fillets with the egg noodle stir-fry on the side. Incorporate the frozen peas and stir until heated through. Season with paprika, garlic salt, salt, and pepper. Add the egg noodles, mixing everything together. Cook for 3–5 minutes, then set the stir-fry aside.
