Smoked haddock has such a rich flavour and makes a lovely quick, tasty lunch or super.
One of our favourite smoked haddock recipes, we have poached the fish here in milk and then used the flavoured milk to make a creamy mushroom sauce.
Just serve this with spinach and mash for a comforting meal (opens in new tab). To cook the spinach just rinse it and place in a large saucepan with 1 tbsp water and a good knob of butter, then shake over a medium heat until it has wilted. Stir well, press out excess water and season with a grating of nutmeg.

Top Tip for making Smoked haddock in mushroom sauce
Try to use un-dyed smoked haddock, it won’t have the bright yellow colour, but is just as delicious. You can use frozen fish if liked, just cook a little longer.
