Best Haddock Spinach Paella Recipes

SMOKED HADDOCK WITH BUTTERED SPINACH & MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the sauce, gently heat and stir together the mustard and crème fraîche in a small saucepan, then turn off the heat and set aside.
• Put the spinach in a colander and put in the sink. Pour over kettle-hot water to wilt, cool under cold water, squeeze out as much water as possible, then set aside.
• Put the potatoes in the bottom part of a tiered steamer, just cover with water and bring to the simmer. Lay the fish fillets in the first tier of the steamer and, after the potatoes have cooked for 5 mins, sit on top, cover and steam for a further 5 mins or until the fish is cooked through. While the fish and potatoes are cooking, bring another small pan of water to the boil, add the vinegar and poach the eggs to your liking - we did ours for 2 mins.
• Gently reheat the sauce and add the lemon juice and a small splash of water if it's a little too thick. Season and stir in the chives. Lift the fish tier off the potatoes, drain the potatoes, then tip them back into the pan. Add the spinach and a drizzle of the sauce, and mix to combine. Divide the potatoes and spinach between 2 plates, sit a fillet of haddock on each and top with a poached egg. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the eggs and around the fish, and serve straight away.

HADDOCK & SPINACH CHEESE MELT

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Pile the spinach into a large pan over a medium heat, turning it over and over until wilted. Remove from the heat and drain off the excess liquid.
• Mix spinach with the soft cheese, then place in the bottom of a small baking dish and sit haddock pieces on top. Lay sliced tomatoes on top of the fish and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Bake for 15-20 mins (depending on thickness of the haddock), or until the fish flakes easily.

HADDOCK WITH SPINACH AND RICE

Steps:

• Set out the fish on the kitchen counter to defrost and proceed with the steps listed below. By the time you gather all the ingredients and get to to the fish, it should be somewhat defrosted and ready for you.
• Rinse the rice well and drain. Place the rice, water, salt, and oil in the inner liner of the instant pot and stir to mix.
• Cut 4 pieces of aluminum foil large enough to hold and wrap the fish in a pocket. Divide the spinach evenly between the four sheets. Place the fish on top. Drizzle oil, salt and pepper on top of the fish and close each packet. Close up the packets of foil into long rectangles, ensuring the packages will not leak (otherwise your rice is going to taste entirely too fishy).
• Place a steamer rack on top of the rice. Place the aluminum packets of spinach and fish on the steamer rack in one layer.
• Cook for 4 Minutes high pressure.
• Allow it to release pressure naturally for 10 mins and then release all remaining pressure.
• For the Sauce: While the rice and fish cook, mix together the mayonnaise, garlic and lemon juice and let it rest.
• To serve, divide the rice into four bowls. Spoon the spinach and fish from each packet onto the rice, pouring any juice in the package on the rice, and drizzle with the sauce, if using. Or you know, let everyone get their own fish-you've already done the cooking for them!

SPINACH PAELLA

Steps:

• In a large pot, on high heat, heat the olive oil. When pot is hot, add turkey and chicken and saute quickly until golden brown on all sides. Remove the meats and reserve. To the pan, add the peppers, cilantro and garlic and turn heat to medium high. Cook until caramelized. Pour the rice into the pan and coat it with the mixture. Add the 4 cups water, scallions and packets of Sazon. Stir until mixed well and turn the heat to high until the rice begins to boil. Add the meats and simmer until the rice is cooked through and the mixture begins to thicken slightly. Add more water if needed.
• In a blender, place some of the spinach in and 1/2 cup of water and blend well. Add more spinach as it is blended and more water, if needed. The mixture should be very green and thick. When the rice is done and right before serving add the spinach puree and mix well. Salt and pepper, to taste. Fill 2 round molds with rice, pat down slightly and invert onto the center of each plate to make drums. Place the olives on the tips of the breadsticks to make drumsticks and write a message on the rim of the plate with the tomato paste. Serve warm.

BAKED HADDOCK WITH SPINACH AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly butter a 2-quart casserole or baking dish large enough to hold haddock fillets in a single layer.

• Arrange haddock fillets in baking dish. Spoon equal portions of the spinach mixture between the fillets. Spoon drained tomatoes around fillets and sprinkle with the thyme, tarragon and salt.
• Bake, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
• While fish is baking, make the sauce. If necessary add enough water to reserved tomato liquid to make 1 cup. In the skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Stir in the minced onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add 3/4 cup of the tomato juice to the onions. Bring mixture to a boil. Whisk the cornstarch into the remaining 1/4 cup juice, then add to the skillet. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring, until sauce thickens slightly. Pour sauce over baked fillets and serve.

Add parsley, salt and pepper to taste to the spinach.
