CREAMED FINNAN HADDIE (SMOKED HADDOCK)
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.

- In the same skillet, melt butter, whisk in flour and cook over medium-low heat, stirring until the flour is foaming but not browned - about 1 or 2 minutes.

- Season with salt, pepper and optional nutmeg, and leave to simmer slowly for an additional 1-2 minutes. If sauce is too thick, add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring constantly.
