Why cooks start here
Merluza al horno is hake baked on a bed of onion and tomato, sometimes with a little wine. It is the gentle fish supper of the week.
Merluza al Horno is a staple of Argentinian weeknight dinners, a dish that brings the sea to the table with comforting simplicity. This baked hake recipe hails from the coastal regions, where fresh fish is abundant and enjoyed regularly. It's a go-to choice for a gentle supper that doesn't demand extra frills, offering a straightforward yet satisfying meal after a busy day. The dish captures the essence of tender hake fillets nestled on a bed of sweet onions and ripe tomatoes, lightly kissed by a splash of white wine. The result is a harmonious blend of flavors, where the subtlety of the fish is complemented by the savory sweetness of the vegetables. A drizzle of olive oil ties everything together, creating a juicy, fragrant bake that invites you to savor each bite.
