Creamy Fish Gratin

Hey everyone, it’s John, welcome to our recipe page. Today, I’m gonna show you how to prepare a special dish, creamy fish gratin. It is one of my favorites. This time, I will make it a little bit unique. This is gonna smell and look delicious.

I got the idea from a Russian cookbook I worked on in which there were a couple of recipes that used smetana (similar to creme fraiche) to cover a whole fish before. This fish gratin with leeks is a meal in one, deliciously simple and easy to make in advance. It's just perfect if you're coming home late and need a hug on a plate. Bring broth to a boil in a small sauce pan.

Creamy Fish Gratin is one of the most well liked of current trending meals in the world. It is simple, it’s quick, it tastes yummy. It is enjoyed by millions every day. Creamy Fish Gratin is something which I’ve loved my entire life. They’re nice and they look wonderful.

To begin with this recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can have creamy fish gratin using 6 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you cook that.

The ingredients needed to make Creamy Fish Gratin:
  1. Take 500 g fish pieces, I had a mix of smoked haddock, cod and salmon
  2. Take 300 g creme fraiche, don't use half fat - it will separate
  3. Prepare couple of handfuls grated mature Cheddar cheese
  4. Take couple of handfuls of fresh breadcrumbs
  5. Take couple of handfuls of grated Parmesan cheese
  6. Get squeeze lemon juice, salt and pepper, and you could add fresh herbs such as parsley and dill if you like

Sometimes, French recipes call for the addition of nutmeg and pepper to make it more flavourful. This simple and tasty fish gratin is so easy to make and really quick to prepare. It's also great for a low-calorie diet. My Seafood Gratin Pasta Bake is made with mixed seafood and macaroni, baked with a silky creamy sauce (made WITHOUT cream!) with a crunchy golden breadcrumb and parmesan cheese topping.

Steps to make Creamy Fish Gratin:
  1. Butter an ovenproof dish and place the fish pieces at the bottom. Squeeze over a little lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6.
  2. Cover the fish completely with creme fraiche, smoothing over the top to make an airtight layer, only use as much creme fraiche as you need.
  3. Spread the grated Cheddar over the top in an even layer. Mix the breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan and then add that to the top too. I didn't have quite enough breadcrumbs, you need a good layer so you have a nice crispy topping.
  4. Grind over some black pepper and some paprika too if you wish and then bake for about 20 minutes. The fish will cook quickly in a metal dish, you'll need a bit longer if you're using a ceramic or china dish. Serve with chips and peas!
