Method

  1. Put the cream and chicken stock in a pan. Bring to a simmer then reduce by a third. Stir in the mustard and parsley.
  2. Heat a frying pan of water until boiling. Add the haddock fillets, put on a lid then turn off the heat and leave for 5 minutes. Poach the eggs in a separate pan in simmering water for about 4 minutes or until the white is set but the yolk is still soft.
  3. To serve, sit the haddock on top of some wilted spinach. Top each with a poached egg and spoon over sauce.

    This recipe is great, the only thing I change, I served on a bed of mash,with peas to one side, then topped the mash with the smoked haddock, poached eag & the mustard sauce to one side, I've done this meal many times & it's always a winner!

    I also has mash rather than spinach but it did need some greens with it otherwise its a bit yellow as a dish. I think serving it with mash and spinach would have been good.
