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 :)
