Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan, tip in the leeks and fry gently for 5 mins until softened, but not coloured. Add the potatoes and cook for a further min. Pour in stock and lemon zest, cover and simmer for 12-15 mins or until the potatoes are tender. With a slotted spoon, remove half the potatoes and leeks from the stock and set aside.
  2. Transfer the remaining potatoes, leeks, stock and milk into a blender or food processor and whizz until smooth. Pour back into the pan, add the sweetcorn, fish and reserved vegetables. Cover and gently heat for 3-4 mins until the fish is just cooked through - don't boil. Stir in chives and cream, if using, then season to taste.
Try

Freezing

Can be cooled and frozen for up to 1 month. Defrost thoroughly in the fridge, then heat through very gently on the hob or in the microwave to avoid overcooking the fish.

    Excellent - so easy and so yummy!!! Serves at least 3-4 people. Next time I might add some prawns and mussels, but it is lovely as is.

    Husband who is not a cook had a go at this at the weekend. He managed the whole recipe without having to ask me anything and served it up with crusty tiger bread. It was very nice and for the first time got my son (15) to eat Salmon. For that alone the recipe is brilliant

    This was easy to make and really tasty. I only made half the quantity and it was enough for lunch for two.

    Made this today and it was amazing. Used sweet potato as i had no potato and was still good. Did not use cream and used tesco pure skimmed milk to cut fat. As well as cod and salmon i used king prawns and mussels. All that was missing was the crusty bread!!

    This is delicious and easy peasy! I want to know wether the calories per serving include bread or not and wether a serving is approx a fifth of the total pan. Anyone know?
