Directions

  • You will need a deep flameproof and ovenproof casserole dish, with a lid, that is wide enough for the haddock pieces to sit side by side.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/350°F/Gas 4.
  • Heat the butter and oil in the casserole dish.
  • Add the onions and celery and fry for about 10 minutes over a medium heat.
  • Then add the garlic and mushrooms and fry for 2 minutes.
  • Add the rice and stir to coat it in the vegetable juices, then fry for a couple more minutes.
  • Pour over the wine and hot stock, then season and bring to the boil. Do not stir the rice.
  • Transfer the dish, uncovered, to the oven and cook for about 15 minutes.
  • Season the pieces of fish and after 15 mins remove the casserole dish from the oven and sit the fish on top of the rice – do not overlap the fillets.
  • Bake for another 8–10 minutes until the fish is just done, then transfer the fish to a warm plate.
  • Add the spinach to the casserole dish and place it on the hob.
  • Cover with a lid and allow the steam from the rice to cook the spinach for a few minutes until it has just wilted.
  • Remove the lid and stir, then add the lemon juice, dill, parsley and cream.
  • Stir again and check the seasoning.
  • Warm the potted shrimps in a saucepan until the butter has melted
  • Return the haddock to the casserole dish, spoon the shrimp over the haddock and serve piping hot.
