Cheese gratin fish with sundried tomatoes

One of my personal favorites!

When I started with fish reciepes for Karbaks kitchen almost two years ago it was pretty much "ordinary" recipes that we had made on most danish boats I have been on, but that source soon ran out and I had to be more creative and inventive and not the least adventurous and try some new recipes out.

This is one of the more lucky ones, in the sense that I pretty much hit the perfect mix in the first attempt.

Ingredients for 4 person:

1kg of fish fillets. In the video I use Haddock, but Hake, Cod, Pollack etc will be just as fine.

500 gr Carrot.

2 Parsnip

2 Leek

Sundried tomatoes

Fresh Parsley

1 dl Cream

1 dl Fish stock or vegetable stock

50 gr butter

500gr Gratin cheese like cheddar or similar.

Salt and pepper.

How to:

Cut the vegetables in even size pieces and put them into a baking dish.

Cut the sundried tomatoes in smaller pieces and add them to the vegetables with salt and pepper and mix it.

Add the fish or vegetable stock and the butter and put it into a 200 degree hot oven for about 20 minutes until the vegetables start getting a bit of color.

Take it out of the oven and add the Parsley to the vegetables and mix it into them.
Add cream and put the fish on top of the vegetable mix.

Add the cheese on top and put it back into the oven until the cheese is melted and have taken some color.

The reason I have the vegetables in the oven for preheat without the fish is that the fish will be to dry and overcooked if its in the oven for as long as it takes to cook the vegetables.

I hope you enjoy it!
