Instructions

Step 1: Poach the Fish

Place the smoked haddock in a shallow pan with just enough water to cover. Bring to a gentle simmer and poach for 5–6 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky. Remove from the pan, drain, and flake into large pieces.

Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics

While the haddock cooks, heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and sauté for 1–2 minutes until softened.

Step 3: Wilt the Spinach

Add the fresh baby spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring, until just wilted (about 1 minute). Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Toast the Rye

Toast the rye bread slices until they are golden and crisp.

Step 5: Assemble the Toasts

Spread each slice of toasted rye bread with crème fraîche. Top with the wilted spinach mixture and the flaked smoked haddock.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with fresh chives and additional black pepper. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For the best results, use a shallow pan for poaching to ensure the haddock cooks evenly. When wilting the spinach, be careful not to overcook it; it only needs a minute to become tender while retaining its vibrant green color. Always check the fish for any remaining small bones before flaking it onto the toast.

Varianten und Anpassungen

You can easily adapt this recipe to your preference. For a lighter version, substitute the crème fraîche with Greek yogurt. If smoked haddock is unavailable, smoked mackerel or trout make excellent alternatives. For those seeking even more protein, a poached egg placed on top of the haddock adds a wonderful richness to the dish.

Serviervorschläge

Serve these toasts while the bread is still warm and crisp. The addition of fresh lemon wedges is essential, as the citrus juice cuts through the smoky flavor of the fish and the creaminess of the spread. Pair it with a fresh cup of tea or coffee for a complete British-inspired breakfast experience.
