Creamy Fish Gratin This changes the whole concept of fish pie from a hearty meal that needs an hour or two to prepare, to a light and creamy dish that takes less than half an hour. An easy-peasy fish pie inspired by the grilled-till-bubbling goodness of a gratin, this dish bakes chunks of white fish in a nutmeg-scented crème fraîche sauce with spinach and tomatoes, topped with breadcrumbs and served with pearl barley. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

To get started with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can cook creamy fish gratin using 6 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Creamy Fish Gratin:
  1. Take 500 g fish pieces, I had a mix of smoked haddock, cod and salmon
  2. Take 300 g creme fraiche, don't use half fat - it will separate
  3. Make ready couple of handfuls grated mature Cheddar cheese
  4. Take couple of handfuls of fresh breadcrumbs
  5. Get couple of handfuls of grated Parmesan cheese
  6. Take squeeze lemon juice, salt and pepper, and you could add fresh herbs such as parsley and dill if you like

Very easy, very French, very comforting. 🙂 I make this using a store bought seafood marinara mix - prawns/shrimp, mussels, fish and calamari. Place the spinach in a large colander in a sink and carefully and slowly pour over a kettleful of hot water to wilt it. Cool again under the cold tap then squeeze out as much liquid from the spinach as possible. Roughly chop the spinach and scatter evenly over the base of the dish.

Instructions to make Creamy Fish Gratin:
  1. Butter an ovenproof dish and place the fish pieces at the bottom. Squeeze over a little lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6.
  2. Cover the fish completely with creme fraiche, smoothing over the top to make an airtight layer, only use as much creme fraiche as you need.
  3. Spread the grated Cheddar over the top in an even layer. Mix the breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan and then add that to the top too. I didn't have quite enough breadcrumbs, you need a good layer so you have a nice crispy topping.
  4. Grind over some black pepper and some paprika too if you wish and then bake for about 20 minutes. The fish will cook quickly in a metal dish, you'll need a bit longer if you're using a ceramic or china dish. Serve with chips and peas!

Season with a little salt and pepper, and bring the mixture to the boil. Creamy gratin of smoked haddock, tomatoes and potatoes recipe Save.
