Instructions:

  1. Put the smoked haddock into a heatproof dish, cover with cling film, puncture with a sharp knife and microwave on high power for 1 minute. Remove and leave to cool. Alternative: put the haddock into a shallow frying pan, cover sparingly with boiling water and simmer on a medium heat for about 4 minutes till cooked. Remove from the heat to cool a little.
  2. Beat the egg and milk in a microwaveable bowl and season lightly with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Put the bowl into the microwave and cook for 30 seconds on high power, stirring after 30 seconds and repeat in bursts of 10 seconds till the eggs are thick and creamy but not solidly set (the egg will continue to cook a little after it is removed from the microwave). Alternative: pour the beaten egg mixture into a non-stick frying pan and, stirring all the time, cook gently over a medium heat till thick and creamy.
  4. While the egg is cooking, lift the cooked haddock onto a serving plate and using a knife and fork, divide into flakes.
  5. Add the cooked eggs to the haddock.
  6. Serve with a slice of rye bread on the side and scatter with masses of freshly chopped parsley, which adds flavour and goodness.

Chef’s suggestions:

  • Instead of smoked haddock you can use ready prepared canned kippers or sardines; or for a real treat add smoked salmon trimmings.
  • For gluten-free, replace the rye bread with rice cakes or gluten-free bread.
  • For dairy-free, replace the skim milk with soy milk.
