Haddock, New Potatoes and Green Beans

Fish is one of the easiest things to cook, far far easier than most people think. Fish is versatile, healthy and tastes great. You can cook it in the microwave (see the Coley recipe) or another easy way is to grill it, which is what we'll be doing here.What with cod levels on a bit of a dive at the moment, it's best to choose haddock as an alternative to Cod. It's a little more expensive, but the plus side is it has more flavour.

STEP 01

Fill a large saucepan 3/4 full of water and put on the hob to boil. Turn on the grill to high and if you've got any, line the grill pan with some kitchen foil (the heat is reflected to the underside of the fish, plus it means you don't have to wash the grill pan.)

STEP 02

Get your fillet of haddock and carefully wash it under a trickle of water from the tap. Just to make sure it's completely clean. Dry it with a bit of kitchen roll or give it a bit of a shake to get rid of the excess water.

STEP 03

Pour some olive oil onto a plate and squeeze some lemon juice into it. Mix it together then carefully lie the haddock down into it. Turn it over and coat the other side.

You'll want to put the haddock under the grill about 10 minutes after you put your potatoes in.

STEP 04

So, once the pan of water is boiling, add a pinch of salt and put the potatoes in.

STEP 05

After 10 minutes, put the haddock under the grill. You don't want it too near the top or it will burn a little.

STEP 06

After 5 minutes, drop the green beans into the saucepan with the potatoes. Green beans don't need as long to cook.

Check on the haddock. If it's looking a little dry, get a spoon and pour a bit of the lemon and olive oil mixture over it, just enough to moisten it.

STEP 07

You know when fish is cooked if it easily flakes away when you pull a bit off with your fork. Try doing it on a fairly thick bit of the fish as this will take the longest to cook. It doesn't matter if it still looks a bit moist, that's good. As long as it seems to flake away easily, you've cooked it to perfection.

STEP 08

So, carefully lift the fish off the grill and onto a plate.

STEP 09

Check the potatoes to see if they're cooked (push a fork into them, if it goes all the way through, they're cooked) and if they are, drain them along with the green beans, then put them on the plate with your haddock.

STEP 10

A nice final touch is to slice a bit of lemon and put it on top of the haddock when you serve it. And of course, you can always substitute the potatoes and beans for anything you like-mash, chips, peas, whatever you fancy. Enjoy.
