CREAMED FINNAN HADDIE (SMOKED HADDOCK)



Creamed Finnan Haddie (Smoked Haddock) image

I remember my mother making finnan haddie, and I always loved the smoky, creamy taste and texture of this dish. And now I like that it's quick and easy to make. I especially like boiled potatoes and sweet green peas with it.

FINNAN HADDIE (SMOKED HADDOCK) FLAVORS OF CAPE COD



Finnan Haddie (Smoked Haddock) Flavors of Cape Cod image

My husband loves this dish, he is from a Scottish family and his mom used to make it. The name comes from the Scottish town of Findon and the slang word for haddock. In the 1800s in Findon, fishwives hung lightly salted or, as Down Easters would say, slack-salted, haddock in their chimneys to be smoked gently over peat fires....

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 pound smoked haddock or salt cod
4 cups milk
1 clove garlic, peeled
6 sprigs fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
1 small potato, peeled and quartered
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons freshly grated horseradish, or to taste
1 baguette (12 inches long), sliced into 1/4-inch-thick slices on the diagonal
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Place the smoked haddock in a large bowl, and cover with cold water. Soak fish 4 hours, changing water every 30 minutes. Alternatively, keep bowl under a thin stream of constantly running water. If using salt cod, soak the fish 12 hours.
  • Remove haddock from water; discard any bones. Transfer fish to saucepan. Add milk, garlic, thyme and potato. Set over medium-low heat; simmer until haddock is very soft, about 1 hour. Pour mixture through a sieve set over bowl; discard thyme and milk. Transfer solids to a large bowl.
  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Using a fork, gently mash the haddock, potato, and garlic together, adding enough cream to make a thick paste. Add the salt and pepper, and stir in the horseradish.
  • Place the bread slices on a baking sheet, and toast until golden. Brush toast with olive oil, and spread fish paste on top. Garnish servings with the fresh thyme.
