  • 250g cherry vine tomatoes

Method

1. Place a large frying pan on a medium heat. Add the baby leaf spinach, season with salt and pepper and add 2 tbsp water. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 mins till the spinach wilts. If it seems a bit dry, add another 1-2 tbsp water.
2. When the spinach has wilted, scoop it out of the pan and leave to drain in a sieve or colander. Halve the cherry vine tomatoes, then pop the frying pan back on the heat and add ½ tbsp olive oil. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and fry for 3 mins, stirring occasionally, till they just start to soften.
3. Add the white fish pie mix to the frying pan and fry for 3 mins, turning the fish pieces halfway through cooking. This fish will start cooking, but it won't be cooked all the way through. Take the frying pan off the heat. If your frying pan can go under the grill, leave the tomatoes and fish in it, or transfer to a heatproof dish.
4. Squeeze any excess water out of the spinach with your hands, then tear it over the tomatoes and fish. Grate a quarter of the nutmeg into the tub of crème fraîche and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Gently stir to mix. Dollop the seasoned crème fraîche over the fish and veg – it won't totally cover them, but that's fine. This is your gratin.
5. Slide the fish pie gratin under the grill for 5 mins, till it has started to pick up some colour and bubble. Take it out from under the heat. Scatter over the breadcrumbs. Grate over a little extra nutmeg. Return the gratin to the grill and cook for 2-3 mins till golden.
6. Let the gratin cool for a few mins, then serve with potatoes, crusty bread or rice.
