Ingredients

- ¼ cup melted butter.
- 2 cups warm milk.
- Salt and black pepper to taste.
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional).
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- The smoked haddock filets should be placed in a glass baking dish in a single layer.
- Create your sauce in a separate bowl:
- Whisk the flour into the melted butter until smooth
- Add the warm milk gradually while whisking
- Season with salt and pepper to taste
- The prepared sauce should be poured evenly over the haddock filets.
- The dish needs to bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes. The sauce will thicken and fish will flake easily with a fork.
Notes
Temperature Check: Your fish is ready when it flakes easily with a fork and looks opaque throughout.
Sauce Consistency: A little warm milk will help thin the sauce if it becomes too thick.
Storage: The leftovers should be refrigerated within 2 hours of cooking.
Reheating: The creamy texture stays best when reheated gently in the oven at 300°F.
