Steps:

• Put rack in the middle of oven. Preheat oven at 400°F.
• Fish: Put flour in a plate, egg in a second plate, pine nut and parmigiano in a third plate. Set aside.
• Add salt and pepper to the fish then flour them. Dip one side of each fillet in egg, then press the same side in the pine nut mixture.
• In a large ovenproof non-stick skillet, brown each fillet in oil at medium heat, crusted side down. Flip fillets and cook in the oven 8 to 10 minutes until fish is cooked.
• Sauce: Meanwhile, in a saucepan, soften onion and garlic in oil. Add chicken stock and bring to boil. Let simmer about 2 minutes. In a blender, reduce the stock with the herbs in a creamy puree. Add salt and pepper.

BAKED HADDOCK WITH SPINACH AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly butter a 2-quart casserole or baking dish large enough to hold haddock fillets in a single layer.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook the onion slices, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in spinach and nutmeg and cook for about 3 minutes.
• Arrange haddock fillets in baking dish. Spoon equal portions of the spinach mixture between the fillets. Spoon drained tomatoes around fillets and sprinkle with the thyme, tarragon and salt.
• Bake, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
• While fish is baking, make the sauce. If necessary add enough water to reserved tomato liquid to make 1 cup. In the skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Stir in the minced onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add 3/4 cup of the tomato juice to the onions. Bring mixture to a boil. Whisk the cornstarch into the remaining 1/4 cup juice, then add to the skillet. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring, until sauce thickens slightly. Pour sauce over baked fillets and serve.

HADDOCK IN TOMATO BASIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan and stirfry the onion and aubergine. After about 4 minutes the vegetables will start to turn golden but won't be soft yet, so cover with a lid and let the vegetables steam-fry in their own juices for 6 minutes - this helps them to soften without needing to add any extra oil.
• Stir in the paprika, garlic, tomatoes and sugar with 1⁄2 tsp salt and cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring, until onion and aubergine are tender.
• Scatter in the basil leaves then nestle the fish in the sauce, cover the pan and cook for 6-8 minutes until the fish flakes when tested with a knife and the flesh is firm but still moist. Tear over the rest of the basil and serve with a salad and crusty bread.
