Smoked Haddock in a Parsley Cream Sauce

The Tavern has captured the mood of the Scottish summer with a traditional comfort food favourite! Smoked haddock in a tasty parsley cream sauce is one of my favourites dishes and like many Scots, it takes me straight back to my childhood. 

Smoked haddock is packed full of flavour and is simple and quick to poach. This makes it ideal for a really tasty mid-week supper or lunch. You can buy it dyed or undyed depending on your preference - to be honest it does nothing to the taste! 

Nicki's out and about this week so I'm going to remind you all to try this out at home and please do leave your comments here and please do share this with your friends! You can also share your photographs and ideas with us. We'd love to see them. As always, tag them #PerthLoveFest and we'll scatter them around our own social media.

Preparation Time:
15 minutes
Cooking Time:
15 minutes
Serves: 2

Ingredients

  • 2 smoked haddock fillets
  • 275ml milk (or enough to cover the fish for poaching)
  • Knob of butter
  • 100ml double cream
  • 2 tablespoons white wine
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and Pepper
    1. Fill a frying pan with the milk (the pan needs to be big enough to fit the 2 fillets of haddock) and bring to the boil, poaching the fish for approximately 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm.
    2. Melt the butter in another pan and infuse with the white wine and double cream. Cook over a low heat until the sauce thickens.  Add 2 tablespoons of the chopped parsley and season with salt and cracked black pepper.
    3. Plate up the fish and pour the sauce over, scattering with the remaining parsley.

    TIPS:

    If serving with seasonal vegetables and new potatoes like The Tavern, make sure you have them underway before you start cooking the fish. The poached eggs can be cooked as the cream sauce is thickening.
