2. Take a saucepan, heat oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion when the oil is hot. Once the onion begins to color, add the minced garlic.
3. Before the garlic gets too brown, add the flour and cook for one minute.

6. The fish stock can be made with some bones from the hack, such as the head and tail. Now, if you are looking for a quick and easy recipe for hake in green sauce, and you do not want to make the broth, you can buy it already made.
