    ๐Ÿ”ฅ Method (Layered the BlixSam Way)
    1๏ธโƒฃ Bloom the base flavour
    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a small pan. Add ยฝ tbsp Zesty Voel and allow it to bloom gently for 30 seconds.
    2๏ธโƒฃ Season the fish
    Brush hake fillets with the infused oil. Sprinkle remaining 1 tbsp Zesty Voel and salt evenly over the fish.
    3๏ธโƒฃ Cook gently
    Heat remaining olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook hake 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden and flaky. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish in the final minute.
    4๏ธโƒฃ Warm the sauce layer
    In the same pan after removing the fish, lower the heat and pour in 1 cup BlixSamโ€™s Lemon and Herb Sauce. Let it simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes to warm and slightly thicken.
    5๏ธโƒฃ Build the rice depth
    In a pot, melt butter. Add ยฝ tbsp Zesty Voel and let it bloom briefly. Stir in rice, then add water or stock. Cook until fluffy.
    6๏ธโƒฃ Finish strong
    Plate the rice and hake. Spoon the warm Lemon and Herb Sauce generously over the fish. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
    ๐Ÿ’› Why This Works
    The spice is layered in oil, on the fish and in the rice.
    The Lemon and Herb Sauce becomes a warm finishing glaze, not just a drizzle.
    It adds creaminess, brightness and balance to the dish.
    Fresh. Light. Properly layered flavour.
    Itโ€™s BlixSamโ€™s Lekker ๐Ÿ˜„
