• COOKING TIME: 20-30mins
• SERVINGS: 2

Ingredients

• 
  500g haddock
• 
  3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 
  1 cup vegetable oil
• 
  2 potatoes, cooked and grated
• 
  ½ cup plain yoghurt or sour cream
• 
  Grated peel and juice of 1 lemon
• 
  2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

  Chopped spring onion and chilli flakes, for serving (optional)

Method

1. Steam fish in a colander over a pot of simmering water for 6–8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
2. Add fish to the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Whip at low speed for a few minutes until the fish has flaked. 
3. With the mixer still running, add the garlic and half the oil in a thin, steady stream. 
4. Add the potatoes and mix while adding the remaining oil. 
5. Now whip the mixture on high speed until light and fluffy. 
6. Fold through the yoghurt or sour cream, lemon peel and juice and parsley. Season to taste. 
7. Garnish with spring onion and chilli flakes, if you like, and serve with crusty bread or crackers.
