Hake should be cooked at the same time as potatoes. Place the frozen hake into the water and on medium fire. Add a tablespoon of pepper, salt, and bouillon powder. Cut 3 cloves of garlic into bigger pieces and add them to the water. Add 2 pieces of lemon too. You can add more seasonings, depending on your preferences.

While everything is cooking, prepare the sauce for the dish. Cut 4 cloves of garlic, add a teaspoon of parsley, and cover everything with olive oil. The amount of olive oil depends on your preferences. I use about 20 mL. Let the mixture rest.

When the hake is cooked, drain the water, and let the fish cool down. Its temperature needs to be comfortable for you to hold it with your hands without getting burnt.
