First time I saw this recipe was in Donal Skehan site, it was seem simple recipe, and it does. My kids really love any kind of fish, with any style of cooking, so I want to try the recipe. When I doing search for the similar recipe, most meunière recipe is using sole fish, which I didn’t have it in my stock, so I am using Hake instead. And find out, I think hake flavour is too strong for this mild and subtle recipe. But the kids and myself still like it so much, we serve it with steam brown rice.

In most original recipe is not calling for capers, but I love capers so much because it add such a sharp and bold flavour so I decide to add it, by adding capers to the recipe it very much look similar to Italian Piccata (by removing the cream of course) which another favourite recipe to us.

After pat dry the fillet, I put some seasoning to my hake by add some sea salt, pepper and garlic powder, then coating it with flour right before pan fried it in butter.

How to
