Quick & easy pollock & leek grills Pollock is a very economical fish. In this recipe a combination of smoked and unsmoked pollock is used to give a good flavour. Serves: 4 adults Preparation time: 10 mins Cooking time: 15 mins Ingredients: 300g pollock fillets thawed if frozen 200g smoked pollock fillets thawed if frozen 2 leeks sliced 40g reduced fat Cheddar cheese sauce mix 300ml 1% fat milk 1 tsp wholegrain mustard 1 pinch ground black pepper 40g white or wholemeal breadcrumbs 40g reduced fat mature Cheddar cheese grated
What to do: 1. Preheat a medium grill. Put 4 individual shallow heatproof dishes or one large shallow baking dish in the grill compartment to warm. 2. Put the fish fillets into a large frying pan and cover with water. Heat and simmer gently for 5-6 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked. (The flesh should flake easily when tested with a fork). 3. At the same time, simmer the leeks in boiling water for 4-5 minutes. Drain the leeks and fish thoroughly, then share them between the warm dishes. 4. Follow the pack instructions to make the cheese sauce with the milk. Remove from the heat and add the mustard (if using), then season with some pepper. 5. Share the sauce between the dishes, pouring it over the fish and leeks. Scatter the breadcrumbs and grated cheese over the top. Grill for 3-4 minutes, until browned and bubbling. Serve at once.
Tip 1: Use whatever fish you like for this recipe. A mixture of unsmoked and smoked haddock works well, too.
Tip 2: If you like, prepare the dish ahead of time, without grilling it. Cover and chill until needed, then reheat in the oven at 190°C, fan oven 170°C, gas mark 5 for 15-20 minutes, until piping hot.
