Silvana Franco combines smoked haddock and creamy mash to create a comforting, yet healthy fish and potato bake
Ingredients
- 1.5kg floury potatoes, such as King Edwards or Maris Piperpeeled and diced
- 600 g smoked haddock fillets, un-dyed
- 300ml Milk, skimmed
- 1 bunch Spring onions, finely chopped
- 200g fromage frais, fat free
- 40g Emmental cheese, or Leerdammer cheese, finely grated
- 1 pinch black pepper
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 220C/gas 7. Cook the potatoes in a large pan of boiling water for 15 minutes or so until tender.2. Meanwhile, place the smoked haddock in a pan, pour over the milk and sprinkle over the spring onions.
3. Cover, bring to the boil and simmer for 5-8 minutes until the fish is cooked and flakes easily.
4. Lift out the poached haddock and discard the skin and any bones. Pour the warm milk and spring onion into a jug; you'll need 200 ml and there should easily be enough.
5. Drain the potatoes well and mash - ideally with a ricer - until smooth. Beat in the warm milk and spring onion, followed by the fromage frais.
6. Gently fold in the flaked fish and check the seasoning; you're unlikely to need much, if any, salt, but grind in plenty of pepper.
7. Spoon the mixture into a large, shallow heatproof dish and scatter over the cheese. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until golden and crunchy on the surface.
