Looking for an easy, healthy recipe to try out for dinner this week? This delicious Poached Hake dish looks incredible and it only takes 30 minutes to make!

Whitefish isn't always our first choice when it comes to cooking a healthy dinner at home, but it really should be. As well as being super healthy, it's also so versatile and adaptable when it comes to adding flavouring or seasoning to your taste. And there couldn't be a better time to start supporting the Irish whitefish industry. The sector faced a lot of challenges due to Covid-19 so, by incorporating more whitefish into your weekly dinners, you'll be doing your bit to support fishermen and producers all across the country. That's why Bord Bia want us to continue embracing the Irish whitefish market, by cooking locally caught hake, haddock and whiting at home. To get the word out there, Bord Bia recently teamed up with presenter Aoibhín Garrihy in the video below, where she learns all about whitefish industry and why Ireland's coastline is such a plentiful fishing spot. With that in mind, here's a delicious whitefish recipe you can make at home. It's quick and simple to prepare and this recipe serves 6, so you can tweak the ingredients to fit how ever many people you're cooking for. The below recipe uses hake as the fish serving, but you can replace that with haddock or whiting and get the same delicious results! First, here are the ingredients you'll need...
