Step 3

Season the hake with a generous pinch of smoked sea salt at least an hour before cooking.

Step 4

For the beans, heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat and cook the beans, tomatoes, garlic and chorizo (if using) for 4-5 minutes.

Step 5

Steam the cavolo nero in another pan for 3-4 minutes, then drain. Add a splash of white wine to the beans, then toss them together with the steamed kale, lemon zest and paprika. Season with a pinch of salt and some freshly ground black pepper.

Step 6

For the hake, heat the oil in a non-stick pan and add the fish skin-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the skin is crisp, then flip them over and add the sage leaves to the pan. Fry the sage in the oil alongside the hake for a further 2-3 minutes and finish with a knob of butter spooned over the fish as it finishes cooking.

Step 7

Serve the pan-fried hake on the bean mixture and pour the sage oil from the pan over the fish to finish.
