Smoked Haddock with Creme Fraiche, Chive and Butter Sauce
Serves 2
This recipe has the most wonderful combination of flavours and it only takes
12 minutes to make from start to finish. Serve it with spinach cooked in its
own juices with a little butted then drain well for a great meal in no time at all.
- 2 pieces smoked haddock or smoked cod skinned,
..approximately 6-7 oz (175-200g) each or
- 12-14 oz (350-400g) golden haddock cutlets
- 5fl oz (150mI) whole milk
- 2 rounded tablespoons creme fraiche
- 1/2 oz (10g) butter
- 1 heaped tablespoon freshly snipped chives
- freshly milled black pepper
You need a 10 inch (25.5cm) frying pan. Place the fish in the frying pan and
add a little freshly milled black pepper but no salt. Then pour in the milk
(it won't cover the fish but that doesn't matter), bring it up to simmering point
and simmer gently, uncovered, for about 8-12 minutes according to thickness if
youre using large pieces of smoked haddock or cod, or 8 minutes for golden
haddock cutlets. You will be able to see quite clearly when it is cooked as the
fish becomes pale and opaque.
Then carefully lift the fish onto a plate, add the creme fraiche to the pan
and continue to simmer uncovered, for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce reduces
and thickens slightly. Whisk in the butter and return the fish to the sauce
briefly, scatter in the chives, let it bubble for about 30 seconds. Then enjoy.
