Haddock fillet with leek & spinach stuffing

Traditional ingredients served in a simple but colourful way. Haddock fillets rolled around a creamy filling combining leeks, spinach and tangy goats’ cheese; the lemony flavour of which compliments the haddock to perfection.

Serves: 4
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 20 mins

What you need:

• 4 fillets of haddock, skinned
• 25g/1oz butter
• 1 lemon
• 25g/1oz butter
• 2 leeks trimmed, washed and shredded
• 200g/7oz baby spinach leaves
• 75g/3oz creamy Welsh goats’ cheese
• 75g/3oz fresh white breadcrumbs
• 1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
• Seasoning of sea salt and ground black pepper

What you do:

1. Prepare the filling. Sweat shredded leeks in the butter for 2 - 3 minutes to soften. Add the spinach leaves and cook briefly until just wilted. Place ingredients into a colander and squash out juices using a potato masher. Combine leek and spinach mix with remaining filling ingredients.
2. Lay haddock fillets flat on a chopping board. Spread with the filling and roll up. Rest in a shallow ovenproof dish lined with baking parchment. Dot with butter and lemon juice. Cover with wetted baking parchment and cook for 20 - 25 minutes until the fish is just cooked.
3. Serve with new potatoes and sprigs of watercress.
