It's hard to beat a succulent fillet of fresh haddock, but add to it a herb crust and black olive infused mash, and you have a sumptuous combination that will put a smile on your face.
Ingredients
- 800 g thick haddock, 4 x 200g pieces, skin on, no bones
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cold
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the Crust
- 4 tbsp chopped herbs , parsley, basil, chives or coriander
- 2 tbsp finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 tbsp breadcrumbs, Panko are perfect
- 1 pinch ground cumin
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 egg white, lightly beaten (optional)
For the mash
- 500 g hot creamy mashed potato
- 100 g black olives, very finely chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped and softened for 5 minutes in a little butter
- 300 g kale, lightly boiled and sautéed in a little butter
Instructions
- Pre heat a grill to medium setting.
- Mix the herbs, cheese, breadcrumbs, cumin and salt well.
- Brush the top of the fish with a little beaten egg white (this helps the crust stay in place) and season well, then pack on the crust, pressing down slightly.
- Heat an ovenproof frying pan, and then add the oil and cold butter.
- Once the oil and butter are bubbling, carefully lay the fish in the skin side down.
- Cook gently for 2-3 minutes, then transfer under the grill and cook for a further 4-5 minutes nice and gently, so evenly brown and just cooked through.
- Remove and keep warm; rest for 5 minutes.
- Place the olives and onion into the mash with salt and pepper, mix well.
- Serve the fish next to the black olive mash with a little sautéed kale.
- Pour over any cooking juices from the pan.
- I sometimes sprinkle over the fish a little candied lemon to offset the black olive mash.
