The bulgur:

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

In a pot, place bulgur, water (2 cups of water per each cup of bulgur), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil (covered), then lower the heat to a minimum. Once the bulgur has absorbed almost all the water, turn off the heat and let it rest covered.

The vegetables:

Cut broccoli into florets and spread them with cherry tomatoes on a baking tray. (You can use parchment paper if you have it.)
Drizzle with oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Stir occasionally. 

The hake:

Dry the hake fillets with a paper towel.
Heat a frying pan with a dash of oil over medium-high heat.
Fry the hake on both sides. Usually a couple of minutes per side is enough.
Season with salt and pepper.

The dressing:

Squeeze half of the lemon and mix with honey and a dash of olive oil.
Season with salt and pepper

The salad:

In a bowl, mix bulgur, cherry tomatoes, raisins, and the dressing. 

Your meal:

Cut the remaining lemon into wedges.
Serve hake with broccoli, bulgur salad, and a lemon wedge on the side to squeeze over the fish
