Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Put the spinach in a colander and pour over a kettle of water to wilt. Squeeze to get rid of water then chop.
  2. Melt the butter in a pan then add the flour and cook for a minute. Whisk in the milk a bit at a time to make a sauce then simmer for 3 minutes. Season and stir in the cheddar and half the parmesan.
  3. Mix 2 tbsp of the sauce with the spinach and spoon into the bottom of two small individual ovenproof gratin dishes. Lay the fillets on top then spoon over the rest of the sauce and finish with the rest of the parmesan. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and bubbling.

    I wasn't a massive fan of this recipe; although it did taste great and the flavours are a good combination wasn't for me, and this didn't make enough for me and my boyfriend, could do with maybe some potatoes and veg as a side dish.

    Absolutely loved this. I did celeriac mash and peas on the side. Got the big thumbs up from oh too. And so quick. I used creme fraiche instead of making a white sauce and used frozen leaf spinach, so in all it would have taken about 10 minutes to prepare before putting in the oven. Result!

    Really lovely recipe which the whole family enjoyed, including my three year old. I have made it with Lemon sole and plaice, both were tasty.
