I thought this would be pretty much a pro forma meal when I started cooking, but sometimes familiar ingredients and a familiar recipe end up as something uncommonly good, and even spectacularly good. one nearly 20 ounce hake fillet from from American Seafood Company in the Saturday 23rd Street market, cut into 4 pieces to …

‘gilded hake’, sage, lemon, parsley, lovage; choy sum, garlic
I’ve prepared essentially this same meal a number of times before. Although there are always small variations among the secondary ingredients, if not in both the fish and the greens, I have no idea how one of those meals can end up as exceptionally delicious as the one I put together tonight. If I had to make a …
‘gilded’ hake, sage, parsley; cardoons, garlic, bread crumbs
I was pretty excited to find cardoons in the Greenmarket on Monday. The excitement continued all the way through its several cooking processes – even while working inside a very warm and humid kitchen – and it survived the entire meal. Barry, who is crazy about artichokes, which are related to cardoons (both are thistles) was less enthusiastic, because he thought they were …
‘gilded’ hake; grilled eggplant mix, tomato, basil; sourdough
Hake is a great fish, and this is a terrific way to appreciate it so its flavors can shine, especially when it’s as fresh as this fillet was last night. The eggplant had been too beautiful to pass up at the Union Square Greenmarket on Friday. Like most of my vegetable purchases, they were free agents [did …
‘gilded’ flounder; roasted golden beets, Brussels sprouts
Golden were the fish and the beets both, but the leeks, micro greens, and Brussels sprouts, also a part of this meal, might better represent the gold of the sun, barely visible in late January (fairly or not, we associate that orb with the green above ground more than the roots below). The date was January 30. I …
‘gilded’ flounder with oregano, scallions, lemon; collards
I was nattering with the mongers and wasn’t thinking much about the quantity of fish being drawn from the low tub nestled in the ice. I ended up with a pound of fish, a little more than I would normally buy, but the flounder was so terrific that both of us were very happy the number was a little …
‘gilded cod’, sage, chili, fennel flower; grilled zucchini, mint
I fiddled with this recipe a little each time I’ve brought it out. It was originally the late Kyle Phillips‘s terrific approach to cod, although it looks like I’ve only used it with hake until last night. I’ve finished it with with various toppings; this time I used fresh fennel flowers, and before that I played around a little …
‘gilded’ hake, marjoram, micro scallion; sautéed vegetables
The picture looks great, but it doesn’t tell everything. The ingredients, and the recipes too, were excellent, but I’ll be honest: I made two blunders in the cooking process, although neither was much of a disaster, even a culinary disaster. The hake fillet was pretty thick, thicker than those I normally have, and I underestimated the time …
‘gilded’ hake, vetch; roasted tomatoes, allium; fiddleheads
I love being able to use a word like ‘vetch’ in the list of a meal’s ingredients, although until I came upon some in the Greenmarket on Monday, if I had been asked, I would have probably have thought the word described one of the ingredients of some medieval magic potion. It tuns out that it’s certainly ancient, and an ancient friend …
gilded hake, roast Brussels sprouts & winter squash
This is another meal which might have looked more at home last fall, rather than a mild day like this one, but because of the miracles of local suppliers, along with one beautiful thick section of hake, I happened to have some winter squash and Brussels sprouts which I had also picked up at the …
