{{RecipeIngredients
| 800g [[Hake]] fillets or 4 hake steaks weighing about 200-225g each
| [[Salt]]
| 4 large [[Potatoes|potatoes]], peeled and thickly sliced
| 1 medium [[Onion|onion]], sliced
| 1 [[Bay leaf|bay leaf]]
| 4 sprigs [[Parsley|parsley]]
| 120ml [[Olive oil|olive oil]]
| 8 or more Cloves of [[Garlic|garlic]], sliced
| 1 tablespoon sweet [[Paprika|paprika]]
}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Season the [[Hake|hake]] with the [[Salt|salt]] .
| Place the [[Potatoes|potatoes]], [[Onion|onion]], [[Bay leaves|bay leaves]] and [[Parsley|parsley]] with some [[Salt|salt]] in a saucepan and cover with water.
| [[Boil]] for about 10 minutes.
| Reduce the heat, add the [[Hake|hake]] and [[Simmer|simmer]] for a further 10 minutes.
| If using fillets add them a few minutes later as they do not hold together as well as steaks.
| Towards the end of the cooking time, heat the [[Oil|oil]] and [[Fry|fry]] the [[Garlic|garlic]] until golden.
| Drain the [[Potatoes|potatoes]], [[Onion|onion]] and the [[Hake|hake]], discarding the [[Bay leaves|bay leaves]] and [[Parsley|parsley]] and plate up.
| Remove the [[Garlic|garlic]] from the heat immediately and quickly stir in the [[Paprika|paprika]].
| Pour the [[Garlic|garlic]] [[Sauce|sauce]] over the [[Hake|hake]], [[Potatoes|potatoes]] and [[Onions|onions]].

===Variations===
See our recipe for [[Merluza a la Gallega (with chorizo)]] - not authentic though!
[[Hake]] can be difficult to find in some parts of the UK, so I would suggest you use [[Cod|cod]] instead.
===Chef's notes===
As mentioned above, be very careful with fillets or they will distintergrate as they are boneless. Steaks have [[bones]] which keep the flesh together better.

I think it is best to use a non-[[Smoked paprika|smoked paprika]] for this dish. [[Paprika#Pimentón de Murcia|Pimentón de Murcia]] is probably the best [[Spanish]] variety.
