  1. Air Fryer Lemon Butter Hake Bake
    A light yet comforting one-dish meal featuring flaky hake, buttery baby potatoes and colourful vegetables, finished with a rich lemon butter sauce.
    Serves: 4–6
    🛒 Ingredients
    4–6 hake fillets
    800 g baby potatoes, halved
    1 large onion, sliced
    1 red pepper, sliced
    2 tbsp butter
    1 cup chicken stock
    250 ml fresh cream
    Juice of 1 lemon
    2 tsp BlixSam Lemon Leaf Spice
    2 tsp BlixSam Zesty Voël Premium Spice
    1 tsp BlixSam Garlic Melt Spice
    Fresh parsley, chopped
    Lemon slices, for serving (optional)
    👨‍🍳 Method
    1. Build the Flavour Base
    Place the butter, onion and red pepper into an oven-safe dish that fits your air fryer.
    Sprinkle over:
    2 tsp BlixSam Lemon Leaf Spice
    1 tsp BlixSam Garlic Melt Spice
    Air fry at 180°C for 8–10 minutes, stirring once, until the onions have softened.
    2. Add the Potatoes
    Add the baby potatoes and toss well in the seasoned butter.
    Pour in 1 cup chicken stock.
    Cover tightly with foil and air fry at 180°C for 20 minutes.
    3. Prepare the Lemon Butter Sauce
    Whisk together:
    250 ml fresh cream
    Juice of 1 lemon
    2 tsp BlixSam Zesty Voël Premium Spice
    Pour the sauce over the potatoes.
    4. Add the Hake
    Place the hake fillets on top of the potatoes.
    Spoon some of the sauce over the fish.
    Cover again with foil.
    5. Air Fry
    Cook at 180°C for 15–18 minutes, or until the hake flakes easily with a fork.
    Remove the foil for the final 3–5 minutes to lightly brown the top.
    6. Serve
    Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and garnish with fresh lemon slices.
    Serve straight from the dish, spooning the creamy lemon butter sauce over the hake and potatoes.
    🔥 BlixSam Tip
    Cooking the potatoes first in chicken stock gives them incredible flavour. Covering the hake while it cooks keeps it moist and flaky, while removing the foil for the final few minutes lightly browns the top without drying out the fish.
