Step 1
If the fish is not gutted, cut open the belly and remove the insides. Cut off the head, tail, and fins. Clean off the scales and remove the black membrane from the belly. Rinse the hake thoroughly and pat dry. You can use sour cream of any fat content. Use odorless vegetable oil.
Step 2
Cut the cleaned hake into portion-sized pieces. Salt, add spices or seasoning to taste, and mix well. Let the fish sit for 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 3
Peel the onion, rinse, and cut into half rings.
Step 4
Peel and rinse the carrot. Slice it into thin strips (not grated) to preserve texture after cooking.
Step 5
In a skillet with some vegetable oil, sauté the onion for 3–4 minutes, stirring.
