Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Boil the celeriac and potatoes in a pan of water for 15 mins or until tender. Drain well, then return to the pan to steam-dry for a few mins. Add 25g butter, 50ml crème fraîche and season to taste; mash well, then set aside, covered.
- Melt the remaining butter in a pan over a low heat; cook the leek and fennel seeds for 5 mins or until softened. Stir in the flour; cook for 2 mins, stirring often. If using the wine, add and cook for 2 mins. Whisk in the stock until lump-free, then whisk in the milk and cook for 2-3 mins until it thickens. Remove from the heat, then stir in the remaining crème fraîche, the capers, lemon zest and 15g dill.
- Put the fish in a 25 x 20cm ovenproof dish, pour over the sauce, stir gently, then spoon over the mash. Ruffle the top with a fork. Put on a baking tray and bake for 30-35 mins or until bubbling. Scatter with the remaining dill. Leftovers will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
