Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat, then add the onion and fry for 5-8 mins. Add the potatoes and 300ml water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer for 10-15 mins.

Meanwhile, put the haddock in another pan and cover with the milk. Cook gently for 5 mins. Remove the haddock from the milk with a slotted spoon (reserving the milk), transfer to a plate and leave to cool slightly. When cool enough to touch, flake into large pieces, removing any bones.

Put the reserved milk and flaked haddock in the pan with the potato mixture and cook for another 5 mins. Season and sprinkle over the parsley to serve.

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped

• 100ml dry white wine
• 300ml double cream
• cayenna pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• 6 tbsp finely chopped dill
• 450g fresh egg tagliatelle

Heat the olive oil. Fry the onion until soft. Add the smoked salmon, stir for 3 minutes. Pour in the white wine, bring to boil and cook briskly for 1 minute. Mix in the double cream. Add the cayenne, paprika and 5 tbsp of dill. Stir for a further 3 minutes.

Boil the tagliatelle until ‘al dente’, around 3 minutes; drain. In a large serving bowl toss together the tagliatelle and the salmon cream sauce. Sprinkle over the remaining dill and serve.
