4. roast the fish, uncovered, for 30 - 40 minutes until it is firm and white in the middle.
5. serve with cooked low gi rice (½ cup for women and 1 cup for men) and a large tossed salad with an oil reduced dressing, or stir-fried vegetables (1 cup per person), to make a balanced meal. alternately 2 cooked vegetables will also balance the meal.

should you wish to make this dish for four people, simply add another two hake medallions. the marinade makes enough sauce for the extra fish.
