Method

Lay the haddock in a roasting tin and pour over the milk. Add the parsley stalks, bay leaf, sliced onion, celery and peppercorns. Season with salt and cover tightly with foil. Put in a moderate oven (180°C, 350°F, Gas Mark 4) until the haddock feels firm to the touch and will flake easily with a fork. Carefully lift the haddock fillets out on to a plate and cover with the foil to prevent drying
