Simon Hopkinson’s warm hake with thinned mayonnaise and capers
by:
Hake is a very common fish in Spain and can be found in most fishmongers and supermarket fish counters. Often the whole fish is for sale and the fishmonger will slice it into cutlets for you. The head is usually included and boiling it is a great way to get fish stock when required.

preparation
1. Make the mayonnaise, stir in the tarragon and set aside.
2. Bring the court-bouillon to a boil in a large pan. Add the hake and bring back to a boil, then cover and remove from the heat. Let poach for 20 to 30 minutes.
3. Put the garlic, flageolet beans, tomatoes, vinegar, olive oil, and some seasoning together in a pan and warm through gently until hot. Do not let the mixture boil.
4. Pour the beans into a warmed large oval serving dish. Lift the hake onto a board or large plate and remove the skin. Carefully lift off the fillets and lay them on top of the beans. Stir 1 to 2 tablespoons of the warm court-bouillon into the mayonnaise to give it a good coating consistency. Spoon it over the fish, then sprinkle the capers and minced tarragon over the top. Dust with a little cayenne pepper and serve.
