Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 25 g butter
• 1 medium onion , chopped finely
• 450 g potatoes , diced

1. Melt the butter in a large lidded saucepan, add the onion, patatoes and curry powder, cover and sweat for 10 mins, shaking the pan occasionally.
2. Lay the haddock over the vegetables and pour in the milk and water. Season with plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 12 mins until the potatoes are soft and the fish is creamy.
