Hake Steaks with Croutons and Capers
Ingredients

- Chopped Sage Leaves 1 tablespoon
- Butter 0 oz
- Capers 3 tablespoons

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil, add the bread cubes, and fry until lightly golden brown. Remove the bread from the skillet with a wide fish spatula, allow excess fat to drain, and set aside. Do not discard the oil left in the skillet.
Step 2
Cut the hake fillet into 6 steaks. Season the hake with salt on both sides, coat in flour, and shake off the excess. Sprinkle a little parsley on each steak and press the herbs with your fingertips to adhere to the fish flesh.
Step 3
Heat the oil again to 180–375°F (to check, you can use a cube of yesterday's bread: at this temperature, it should brown within 30 seconds). Place the steaks in batches into the hot oil, two at a time, and fry until golden brown on all sides.
Step 4
Remove the fish from the oil with a wide spatula, allow excess fat to drain, and keep warm while frying the remaining pieces.
Step 5
Drain excess oil from the skillet, leaving just enough to cover the bottom. Melt the butter in the skillet, skimming off the foam with a spoon. Add the capers and croutons, and sauté, stirring, for 1–2 minutes.
Step 6
Drizzle the sauce over the steaks and serve immediately.
