Method

Cut the hake into serving portions. If using frozen hake steaks, you can divide them into pieces of your desired size.
Mix cold water and salt until dissolved, and let the fish pieces sit in the brine for about 10 minutes.
Remove the fish and pat them dry with paper towels.
Dredge the pieces in flour, shake off excess, and fry in butter for about 2 minutes on each side until golden.

Side Dishes

Slice onions thinly. Sauté the onions in butter with a pinch of sugar until caramelized.
Add lemon juice and lemon zest, and simmer until the onions are tender.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
