💭 faq
To ensure you're consuming the healthiest smoked haddock, always read the food labels to check for additives. Some smoked haddock can contain excessive amounts of sodium. If you're not consuming more than the daily recommended amount of fish, then you'll be fine.
Yes. Most smoked haddock is prepared through cold smoking which doesn't use heat and therefore doesn't properly cook the fish. Don't confuse it with smoked salmon, which can be eaten straight from the package a lot of the time.
There can be two reasons:
Some people use natural spices like turmeric or paprika during the brining process which leaves a yellow color on the outside of the fish.
Some brands dye their haddock with yellow coloring to make it "look better".
We enjoy eating smoked haddock with:
1. boiled baby potatoes
2. poached eggs
3. cucumber salad
📋 recipe
Smoked Haddock Bake
Ingredients
- 1 lb smoked haddock (500g) (We used frozen smoked haddock)
- 1 yellow onion (diced)
- 2 tomatoes (diced)
- 4 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh garlic (about 3 garlic cloves, minced)
- ½ tablespoon salt
- ½ cup grated cheese (we used gouda)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F/200C
- Sauté the onion, tomato and green pepper in a bit of oil in a large skillet over high heat. Season with the dried thyme, garlic and half the salt at this point too.
- While the vegetables are cooking. Add the fish to small microwavable dish with the ¼ of milk. Cover and microwave for 5-8 minutes. Long enough so it breaks apart easily. (We used frozen fish, so adjust the cooking time to 3-4 minutes if you have fresh fish).
- When the fish comes out of the microwave, remove it from the milk and put it in a casserole dish (We used an 10”x8” or 30x20cm dish). Break it apart roughly into smaller chunks.
- Now add the vegetables to the casserole dish and mix it evenly.
- Mix 4 eggs with the ¼ cup of cream and the rest of the salt. Pour over the fish and vegetables.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top and bake for 20-25 minutes - until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
