    I will definitely make this again. Cooking fish isn't my strong suit, but this was very easy and the result was delicious. I used cod fillet as my fishmonger didn't have hake.

    This was delicious. I love hake, and this is a good way of using it. Don't be put off by the mayonnaise, it really works. I didn't measure the mayo, but I'm sure I used much less than specified -- just squirted a thin layer over the potatoes. It was low-fat as well, but this wasn't a problem and probably made the dish less rich. Served with braised carrots. I agree with TrishaCP that the potato preparation is a bit fiddly, but with multi-tasking (slice and fry onions while potatoes are boiling) total prep time is still well inside half an hour, and once it's in the oven no attention is required.

    This was great. We didn't find the onions overpowering in the slightest. We only had half of the mayonnaise and that was plenty for us. The steps to cooking the potatoes seemed a bit fiddly (they are boiled, sautéed, and baked) and I would love to find a way to streamline that process (maybe just sautéing and baking next time) for weeknight cooking.

    This is a quick fish gratin. I substituted the hake with cod. I thought this was absolutely delicious. However, Mr lilham wasn't a fan. He said the fried onion tasted like gravy and overpowered everything else. I served it with a simple tomato and green salad.

    Absolutely delicious! I was a little skeptical, but it turned out perfectly. Very rich, just as warned, but oh so comforting. I served it with a basic green salad and the Roasted Tomatoes (a D. Henry suggestion) from the Carrot Hummus dish, which cut through the richness perfectly.
