• Mix the haddock with the sauce and pour into a grease oven-proof dish
• Sprinkle with bread crumbs and bake in the lowest part of the oven for approx. 40 minutes

Tip: Fish gratin can be made from all kinds of whitefish, both raw and cooked. It’s a perfect dish to use leftover fish from yesterday’s dinner. Some of the fish can be replaced with cooked macaroni or vegetables. The cooking time will be shorter if the fish is already cooked.
