2. Dress the carrots with salt, pepper and olive oil. Roast for 15–20 minutes.
3. Finely chop or grate the cabbage and tear the kale into edible chunks.
4. Quarter the carrots lengthways. Mix the cabbage, kale and carrots together.
For the dressing
1. Blend all the ingredients together and allow the salad to sit in the dressing for 15–20 minutes.
For the fish
1. Drizzle olive oil in a non-stick pan and put on a high heat. Place the hake fillets skin-side down. Apply pressure to keep the fish flat. Cook for 3 minutes on each side, then bake for another 10 minutes.
2. Spoon the salad onto a plate. Place a hake fillet on top, season and serve with a lime wedge.
