Tournedos of Hake with a Courgette Purée and a Sauce of Fresh Squid

This method works well with other fish such as haddock and cod but is at it’s best when using hake. The way the salt in the ham reacts with the soft flaky texture of the fish and brings it together, firming it up, works wonders with hake as it can sometimes be very soft and loose making it difficult to handle. Other herbs, such as basil or even sage, could replace the flat parsley.
