Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the butter in a large ovenproof dish over a medium heat. Cook the leek for 4-5 mins, stirring regularly, until just tender. Add the rice and stir for a further 2 mins.

  • step 2

    Add the stock and milk, bring to the boil and bubble for 5 mins before sitting the haddock on top. Cover with a lid or foil and bake in the oven for 18 mins until the rice is tender.

  • step 3

    Fold in the crème fraîche and spinach, season with plenty of black pepper, then cover the pan again and leave to rest out of the oven for 3 mins before serving – the steam will soften the spinach.

Love this recipe. It so easy to make and so tasty. I like adding peas, but you could add any veg (or have it as a side). Love the simplicity of the process. No lengthy stirring!

Great recipe. Definitely recommend peas, wine and lemon zest as additions. The leek was sweet and needed something to bring it back, so I had to be generous with salt and added a teaspoon of Dijon mustard which, with plenty of black pepper, gave it some savoury acidity. I used half-fat creme fraiche…

I've made this many times - it's an absolute favourite!

Supermarket pre-packed smoked haddock is quite thin - and often very thin at the edges. So it can end up like over-cooked cotton wool, esp as it is still cooking when you let it stand with the spinach and creme fraiche. I start the risotto in…

PS It's fine with semi skimmed milk and low fat creme fraiche.

This has made it onto our dinner rotation! As other users have said, addition of frozen peas before it goes in the oven, alongside a little lemon zest with the spinach and creme fraiche and a poached egg really adds something.

We tend to have salmon with greens and creme fraiche (another bbc…

Thanks for the heads-up on the salmon dish.
