Ingredients
- 150ml skimmed milk
- 110g piece smoked haddock
- 2 level tsps cornflour
- 1 tbsp capers, rinsed, drained and chopped
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- Salt and ground black pepper
- 125g new potatoes, steamed, to serve
- 1 carrot, finely shredded
Method
Pour the milk into a pan and add the fish. Bring to the boil, cover the pan and simmer gently for 2-3 mins. Turn off the heat and leave the fish in the pan for about 5 mins, or until it flakes when a knife is pressed into it.
Put the fish on a plate and keep it warm while making the sauce. Mix the cornflour with 1 tbsp water. Bring the milk to the boil and add the slaked cornflour, stirring well so the milk thickens. Simmer for a min to cook the cornflour. Add the capers, most of the parsley and season. Spoon the sauce over the fish. Serve with the potatoes and steamed carrot with some parsley stirred into it.
