Slice the onion and bell pepper into strips and chop the garlic. Heat the olive oil in a wide pan and fry them for 6 minutes until soft.
Add the canned tomatoes, the crumbled dried chili, the bay leaf and the oregano, and simmer for 8 minutes until the sauce thickens. Add the capers and the olives only if you use them.
Season the hake with salt and the lime juice, place it in the sauce, spoon sauce over it, cover and cook gently for 7 minutes until it flakes easily.
Remove the bay leaf and serve the fish with its sauce over the rice, with chopped parsley if you like.
