Smoked Haddock Mac and Cheese is a classic comfort dish. Rich, delicious and easy fish recipe with Cheddar and pasta. (Cod can be used instead of Haddock)
Heat all the Milk in a large pot until hot - add the frozen Haddock and poach 12 - 15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily
Remove the fish using a slotted spoon, cool 3 minutes and flake fish - keep aside - reserve the warm milk
Meanwhile cook the Macaroni as per the instructions on the packet, drain and keep aside
Heat the Oil in a large pot - saute the Onions until soft, about 5 - 8 minutes - add the Garlic and fry another 2 minutes - add the Flour and stir until a paste forms - remove from heat
Whisk in the reserved warm Milk, a cup at a time, stirring well after each addition - season to taste with Salt and Black Pepper
Stir in one cup Mature Cheddar and 1 cup Smoked Cheddar - stir until cheeses are melted
Add the flaked Haddock, cooked Macaroni, chopped Dill and Lemon Juice to the Sauce - stir gently to combine
Spoon into a large oven dish (sprayed with cooking oil) - top with the remaining 1/2 cup Mature Cheddar - sprinkle over the Smoked Paprika
Bake at 200 deg C ( 400 deg F ) 20 - 25 minutes until golden
Garnish with fresh Dill and Parsley and serve hot
Notes
Cod can be used if Smoked Haddock is unavailable, however Cod has a milder taste than Haddock
Another substitute for Smoked Haddock with a stronger flavor, than Cod, is Smoked Mackerel
