How to make easy and low calorie hake in green sauce step by step
- Prepare the clams. Let the clams soak in salt water for at least 30 minutes to flush out any sand they may have.
- Brown the hake. Wash the hake fillets, pat dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a saucepan that can also be used in the oven. Add the fish and brown it on both sides. Remove it and reserve it.
- Make the green sauce. In the same casserole in which you have browned the hake, brown the peeled and minced garlic cloves. Water with the broth and bring to a boil. Sprinkle with the washed and chopped parsley, and pass everything through the blender until it has the consistency of a sauce.
- Bake the hake. Add the hake back to the casserole and bake for 8 minutes at 180º. When there are 5 minutes to finish cooking, add the drained and rinsed clams. Finally, serve the hake and clams along with the hot sauce.
