Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC or gas mark 6.

3. To make the sauce, mix the milk, low-fat spread and flour in a small pan and warm over a medium heat. Stir continuously until the sauce starts to bubble and thicken.

4. Pour the sauce over chunks of fish in an ovenproof dish, then top with mashed potato and sprinkle the cheese over the top.

5. Bake in the centre of the oven for 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Serve with broccoli.
