For the Gratin Topping:

200ml double cream or crème fraîche
Juice of ½ lemon
100g cheddar cheese, grated
2 spring onions, finely sliced
A pinch of nutmeg
A handful of dried breadcrumbs

Instructions:

Prepare the Dish:
- Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease a medium-sized gratin dish with butter.
Layer the Haddock:
- Place the haddock fillets in the gratin dish, ensuring the skinned side faces down.
Prepare the Gratin Topping:
- In a bowl, combine the double cream or crème fraîche, lemon juice, grated cheddar cheese, sliced spring onions, and nutmeg. Season with a generous amount of pepper and a touch of salt. Spread this mixture over the haddock.
Bake:
- Sprinkle the entire dish with dried breadcrumbs. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes until the top turns golden and bubbly. For an extra crispy top, place the gratin under a hot grill for a few minutes.
Serve:
