  • Using a wooden spoon, add the flour and stir for 2 minutes, to allow the flour to cook a little, but be careful that it doesn’t burn.
  • Turn up the heat and slowly add the warmed milk. Stirring constantly, bring to the boil then turn down the heat and simmer for a minute. Season with a little salt and pepper and stir in the chopped spinach. Take off the heat but cover to keep warm.
  • Steam the cauliflower florets for about 7 minutes.
  • Place the diced cod on a baking dish and add the par-cooked cauliflower.
  • Pour over the white sauce, making sure to cover the fish and cauliflower well. Sprinkle over the cheese.
  • Place in the pre-heated oven for 25 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbling and the fish is cooked through.
  • Serve straight away with cooked potatoes and a slice of lemon, for squeezing over the fish.
