 I would be giving you a very simple and easy method of making your fish taste delicious. There are various methods for preparing fish, it could be by smoking, grilling, frying, cooking etc. I prepared the Hake fillet in this picture by grilling it. And if you are just like me (trying to eat healthy) :p, fish is just one of the best options for you.

 Ingredients
1 Hake Fillet (should be about 170g)
1/2 of a Lemon
1 scotch bonnet pepper
1 small onion
1/4 tsp garlic
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp curry
1/4 tsp basil
1 bouillon cube/Knorr cube
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil

 Preparing the Fish
- Soak the already washed fish fillet in a bowl of little water. Squeeze the lemon juice into the water and add 1/4 tsp of salt to it. Set aside for about 20 minutes.
- Do a rough blend of the scotch bonnet pepper in a blender using just a little water (Since it is just one pepper, you will have to make use of a spoon while transferring its contents from the blender into a bowl). After this, chop the onion into round slices.
- Then, preheat the oven fan to about 180C.
- Take the Hake fillet out of the water and lightly drizzle the olive oil over the fish without leaving any part out. 
- Mix all of the other ingredients in the bowl of pepper and using a basting brush, spread these ingredients on the already oiled fish fillet. After doing this, place the fillet unto a foil, add onions to it and wrap. Then place on an oven tray and put in the oven. 
- At this point, you should increase the oven to 200C and let the fish cook for about 20-30minutes.
- Remove the fish from the oven and serve with any dish preferable :)

LOCUST BEANS STEW

This is an unusual but very tasty stew especially with yam. The locust beans present in the ingredients is the only thing that has altered it from being the usual stew. If you haven't tried this out, you should. It is popularly known by the Yoruba's from the western part of Nigeria. It is eaten mostly with rice and is really yummy as the stew is very deeply fried that you cannot for once feel the sour tomato taste at all. I've got a thing for locust beans. Hence, that's why I'm sharing this post. Please feel free to remove the locust beans from your list of ingredients if you just want the usual deeply fried assorted stew.
