Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat oil in a 2-litre casserole dish, then soften the onion over a medium heat for about 5 mins. Tip in the rice and cook for 2 mins, stirring well. Pour in the stock, bring to the boil, then add the cabbage. Cover and bake for 20 mins.

  2. Remove the pan from the oven and give the rice a stir. Place the fish on top of the rice, replace the lid, then bake for 5 mins.

  3. Flake the fish into large chunks and stir into the rice with the crème fraîche and half the Parmesan. Season with freshly ground pepper, then sprinkle with the remaining parmesan to serve.

  • Recipe Tip

    Use other fish

    You can replace the haddock with other meaty fish, such as cod from a sustainable source or salmon. For a special meal, add king prawns, mussels and scallops for the final 5 mins of cooking.

This doesn’t sound like it would be a good recipe, but it really was tasty. I would recommend halving the water as on my first attempt I found it way too watery. Very simple and easy.

Have made this for the second time - halving the amounts for two of us (except the onion as we love onion). I opted for fish stock and used knorr. This time I even added more cabbage than pro rata amount (as otherwise it would have left me with too smaller an amount in the fridge) plus threw in some kale I needed to use up - surprisingly tasty.

Made this with smoked river cobbler. Added some garlic and fresh dill. It's very nice - definitely more flavourful than expected, especially as I was a bit worried having never made fish risotto before. It's not mind blowing or anything which is why 4 and not 5, but it's tasty and easy enough so I'll probably make it again someday.

A firm family favourite for ages but only just registered for account! Nice and easy to cook and never any wasted.

I was unsure of what to expect when making this, but wow was I very pleasantly surprised. I added garlic, mushrooms and white wine as suggested on previous posts. It was moist and really flavoursome. Baked risotto is the way forward!

Delicious. I also added some dried dill and fresh garlic. For the creme friache I dolloped a small amount on the side instead of stirring it through with lifted the dish without overpowering it

Definitely more than the sum of its parts! I debated whether to make this or not as it sounded a bit bland, but I was wrong. We made it with a large onion between 2, some garlic, a courgette and 2 large mushrooms (added just after the onion/garlic) and a teaspoon of mustard (following reading the recommendations below) then used half low fat creme fraiche and half quark. I stirred through some coriander at the end. To be honest the parmesan was superfluous. Very tasty, very easy and will be making again.

Just made this, but with added garlic and a splash of white wine, and grana padano instead of parmesan. I'm eating it now and it's really lovely. I was a bit worried it would be far too cabbagey, but it is very yummy, and I'll be having seconds!

Made this tonight. Did not have enough smoked haddock so added cooked prawns and smoked salmon to 200grams of smoked haddock. I used half fat creme fraiche. Rice was a bit stodgy but very tasty. I also added a little smoked paprika to intensify the smoked flavours. I cooked it with the suggested sesame broccoli accompaniment (John Torrodes recipe) Absolutely gorgeous! I will definitely make this again and try different varietions. great recipe and it makes loads. Much more like a 5-6 person quantity.

This is so easy, tasty & not many calories- wins everyway! I varied it slightly by adding carrots & spinach, omitted the creme fraiche & used river cobbler. Fed more than 4. Will definitely do this again
