Welcome to my kitchen! Today, I’m excited to share a delicious and simple cheesy tomato hake recipe that you can easily make in your air fryer. If you're new here, I’m Lind, and I love experimenting with quick and healthy meals. This recipe has been a long time coming, so let's dive right in!

Ingredients:

• 2 hake fillets (about 250g each)
• Vegetable oil
• Tomato puree
• Italian mixed herbs
• Garlic granules
• Grated red cheddar cheese

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Hake Fillets:

   • Start by preheating your air fryer to 200°C (400°F).
   • Lay out a piece of tin foil and drizzle a little vegetable oil over it.
   • Place the hake fillets on the foil. If you're not a fan of bones, run your fingers over the fillets and use tweezers to remove any you find.

2. Add the Tomato Puree:

   • Spread a thin layer of tomato puree over each fillet using the back of a teaspoon.

3. Season the Fillets:

   • Sprinkle Italian mixed herbs over the fillets.
   • Add a pinch of garlic granules to taste. Feel free to customize the seasoning to your preference.

4. Wrap and Air Fry:

   • Tent the tin foil around the fillets, leaving some space for air circulation.
   • Place the foil-wrapped fillets in the air fryer basket.
   • Cook at 200°C (400°F) for 15 minutes.

5. Cheese It Up:

   • Carefully open the foil after 15 minutes (watch out for the steam!).
   • Sprinkle grated red cheddar cheese over the fillets.
   • Return the fillets to the air fryer and cook for an additional 4 minutes at the same temperature to melt the cheese.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once done, check the internal temperature to ensure the fish is cooked through.
   • Serve the cheesy tomato hake with your favorite sides. I recommend a carrot and potato mash and garden peas for a balanced meal.
