What each ingredient does
- Haddock
- The main protein; it turns opaque and flakes as its proteins set during cooking.
The step that matters
Boil the haddock for about 10 minutes after the water starts boiling. Fish proteins set quickly at boiling temperature. Going past that point squeezes moisture out of the fibres, leaving the flesh dry and tough, so check for flaking early.
