half-fat crème fraîche 4 tbsp
Dijon mustard 1 tsp
spinach 100g, chopped
frozen peas 50g, defrosted
smoked mackerel 1 large fillet, torn into chunks

Method

Step 1

Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Put the crème fraîche and mustard in a pan and heat gently. Add the spinach, and stir until it wilts, then stir in the peas and mackerel. Tip into a heatproof dish and top with the mash. Rough up the surface, then dot with butter and bake for 10 minutes until golden and bubbling. Slide under a medium grill for a few minutes extra to get a crispier golden top.
