- For the Sweet n' Smoky Cape Hake: Thaw fillets overnight, under refrigeration & preferably in a perforated drip pan wrapped in plastic. Pat fillets dry with a clean towel or paper towel.
- Mix the salt, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder and cumin together in a small bowl.
- Prepare a sheet pan with parchment paper and a light cooking spray. Lay out the fillets in a single layer. Divide the seasoning equally between the eight fillets and lightly sprinkle across each. Bake in a preheated 400℉ oven for 8-10 minutes or until reaching an internal temperature of 158℉.
- For the Lemon Vinaigrette: Add all ingredients, except for the olive oil, to a small bowl. Whisk well to combine. While whisking consistently, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until fully emulsified. Reserve.
- To Finish: Divide the mixed greens equally between 8 plates. Carefully add all of the remaining vegetables, grains, cheese and herbs to the salads. Drizzle each salad with approximately 1/2 oz of lemon vinaigrette. Place a fully cooked, but slightly cooled, piece of Hake alongside each salad. Serve and enjoy.
