• Ingredients:

1. 20g cornflour
2. 300ml semi-skimmed milk
3. 300g mixed fish (smoked haddock, cod, salmon), thawed if frozen
4. 50g baby spinach leaves
5. Zest of ½ small lemon (optional)
6. 1 thin slice white or brown bread
7. 15g Parmesan, finely grated
8. Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
9. 100g frozen peas (to serve)

• Method:

1. Prepare the Sauce: Mix cornflour with 3 tbsp of milk to form a paste. Heat the remaining milk in a non-stick saucepan, adding fish, spinach, and lemon zest (if using). Season with salt and pepper. Simmer gently for 3–4 minutes, until fish starts to flake.
2. Thicken the Sauce: Stir in the cornflour paste and cook for 1 minute until thickened. Spoon into a flameproof dish or individual pie dishes.
3. Add Topping: Preheat the grill to high. Tear bread into small pieces, toss with Parmesan, and scatter over the fish mixture. Grill for about 2 minutes until the topping is golden and crisp.
4. Cook Peas: Boil peas according to packet instructions, then drain.
