Mid week meals can sometime get a bit repetitive and i like to get fish into my family every week and here is one of our new favorites, a kind of deconstructed fish pie i guess, Smoked haddock is a fish i enjoy it is meatier than cod and the smoked flavours lend well to this recipe.
The tower starts with a mash potato usually when we have had mash a day or two before i make a bigger batch if i know we are having this a few days later its still good an extra dollup of butte and a quick blast in the microwave sorts it out, followed up with a handful of spring onions.
The spinach is wilted last minuet seasoned with nutmeg salt and pepper and laid on top of the mash potato, followed by the smoked haddock and a lovely soft poached eggs and a generous helping of hollandaise sauce
Pop the yolk and enjoy
Hollandaise Sauce recipe
125g butter
2 egg yolks
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp of white wine vinegar
squeeze of fresh lemon juice
splash of cold water if needed
This is an easy recipe to do and versatile for egg Benedict as well. Melting the butter in a microwave in a jug for about a minuet making sure to remove the white solids and set aside.
I use a glass bowl heated over a saucepan of gently bubbling water and add the whisked egg yolks salt and vinegar and whisk constantly add a little cool water if need be until the mixture thickens about 4-5 minuets.
Once thickened removed from the heat and gently add the butter slowly stirring all the time until you get a silky sauce if it becomes to thick add a splash more cold water and whisk again.
Season with a good squish of fresh lemon juice and fresh ground black pepper.
