About

Kids love this for the luscious coconut and sweet potato mash on top. The colours are great, with the green spinach and coriander, flakes of white fish and orange topping. You could also use prepared saltfish (see The Caribbean Kitchen) or a mixture of saltfish and ordinary fillets.

Ingredients

600 ml (1 pint) milk
1 sprig of thyme

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4. Warm the milk and thyme in a saucepan large enough to hold the fish until it reaches boiling point. Remove from the heat and leave to one side to infuse for about 30 minutes.
Put the fish in the infused milk.
