Serves 2, goes well with quinoa and broccolini
Ingredients:
1 piece of hake*, approximately 13 oz.
Herbes de Provence
Salt
3 pieces of bacon or pancetta
Methodology:
Heat the oven to 400°F.
Season the fish with herbes de Provence and salt, if necessary, keeping in mind that the bacon will add considerable saltiness. Wrap the fish in bacon slices, trying to keep the ends of the bacon on the underside of the fish.
Heat a skillet over high for a few minutes. Place the bacon-wrapped fish in the skillet, cover with a spatter screen, and cook for 2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and place in the oven for 10 minutes.
Heat the broiler and broil the fish until the bacon is crispy. Remove and serve.

*This method also works well with chicken breasts; simply extend the oven cooking time until the breast is cooked through, checking with a knife for doneness.
