Creamy gratin of smoked haddock, tomatoes and potatoes recipe Save.
To get started with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have creamy fish gratin using 6 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Creamy Fish Gratin:
- Get fish pieces, I had a mix of smoked haddock, cod and salmon
- Make ready creme fraiche, don't use half fat - it will separate
- Get couple of handfuls grated mature Cheddar cheese
- Take couple of handfuls of fresh breadcrumbs
- Prepare couple of handfuls of grated Parmesan cheese
- Make ready squeeze lemon juice, salt and pepper, and you could add fresh herbs such as parsley and dill if you like
Very easy, very French, very comforting. 🙂 I make this using a store bought seafood marinara mix - prawns/shrimp, mussels, fish and calamari. Place the spinach in a large colander in a sink and carefully and slowly pour over a kettleful of hot water to wilt it. Cool again under the cold tap then squeeze out as much liquid from the spinach as possible. Roughly chop the spinach and scatter evenly over the base of the dish.
Steps to make Creamy Fish Gratin:
- Butter an ovenproof dish and place the fish pieces at the bottom. Squeeze over a little lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6.
- Cover the fish completely with creme fraiche, smoothing over the top to make an airtight layer, only use as much creme fraiche as you need.
- Spread the grated Cheddar over the top in an even layer. Mix the breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan and then add that to the top too. I didn't have quite enough breadcrumbs, you need a good layer so you have a nice crispy topping.
- Grind over some black pepper and some paprika too if you wish and then bake for about 20 minutes. The fish will cook quickly in a metal dish, you'll need a bit longer if you're using a ceramic or china dish. Serve with chips and peas!
Bring broth to a boil in a small sauce pan. What binds the cod so well with the cheese is the béchamel sauce. What is a béchamel sauce you might ask? A béchamel sauce is a creamy white sauce made out of butter, flour and milk. Sometimes, French recipes call for the addition of nutmeg and pepper to make it more flavourful.
