Merluza a la gallega

Merluza a la gallega is a traditional fish dish originating from Galicia. The dish is usually made with a combination of hake, garlic, potatoes, paprika, bay leaves, onions, olive oil, salt, and pepper. The pieces of fish, onions, bay leaves, and potatoes are boiled in salted water over low heat.


The garlic is sautéed in olive oil with paprika, and the mixture is then poured over the fish and vegetables. Before serving, the dish is simply reheated for a few minutes and it's then ready to be enjoyed.
