Serves 4

900g (2lb) floury potatoes
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp double cream
50g (2oz) butter
freshly ground black pepper
4 x 200g (7 oz) pollock fillets
250ml (9fl oz) full fat milk
250ml (1/2 pt) water
400ml (9fl oz) double cream
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp grain mustard
300g (10oz) petit pois,
250g (8oz) bag baby spinach

Peel potatoes and cut into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, drain and mash with butter, 2 tbsp cream and seasoning. While the potatoes are cooking, bring the water and milk to a simmer in a separate saucepan. Add the pollock and poach for 4–5 minutes.

Then prepare the sauce. Put the double cream in a saucepan with the garlic and reduce until slightly thickened. Add the mustard, peas and spinach and continue cooking until the spinach has wilted.

When ready to assemble the dish, lift the pollock from the poaching liquid and drain on kitchen paper. Place a quarter of the mash in each shallow dish, and top with a fish fillet, then spoon the sauce over and around it.
