Ingredients

• 400 grams broccoli florets
• 500 grams white fish fillets (e.g., cod or haddock)
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• 150 grams cheddar cheese, shredded
• 50 grams parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Steam the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still bright green. Set aside.

Step 3

Season the white fish fillets with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Place them in the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a smooth paste.

Step 5

Gradually add the milk to the saucepan, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the sauce is thick and smooth.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, salt, and remaining black pepper. Mix until the cheese melts and the sauce is creamy.

Step 7

Arrange the steamed broccoli evenly over the fish in the baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the broccoli and fish, ensuring they are completely covered.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the cheese sauce.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 10

Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Broccoli Fish Bake!
