Ingredients for this Pan fried Haddock Recipe:
2 pieces of smoked haddock fillet (approx 120g per portion)
300g floury type potatoes
150g Brussels sprouts
1 finely chopped preserved lemon
A little butter
100ml double cream (heavy cream)
50ml whisky (preferably a good peaty whisky such as Laphroaig)
2 heaped tsp of whole grain mustard
2 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt to taste
The Method
For the colcannon:
- Cook the potatoes in salted boiling water and drain well.
- Cook the Brussels sprouts until done to your liking. I prefer them to be on the softer side of ‘al dente.’ Drain and chop finely. Reserve a few individual leaves for garnishing if desired.
- Mash the potatoes with a little butter. Add the chopped Brussels sprouts and preserved lemon mixing well. Add salt to taste. You can make the colcannon in advance and reheat.
For the haddock:
- Poach the haddock fillets (skin side down) in frying pan for approx. 5 minutes.
- Remove from the pan and peel off the skin. You can leave the skin on if you wish.
For the sauce:
- Place the cream in a saucepan and heat gently. Add the mustards and whisky and stir well.
- Cook for 5 minutes so that the sauce reduces slightly and thickens.
