Grill, toast or griddle the
bread, drizzle with a little
bit of the oil then rub with the garlic and set aside. Make the vinaigrette with
1 tbsp oil, 1/2 tbsp white wine vinegar and add some seasoning.
-
Bring a pan of water to the
boil and cook the asparagus for 3 - 4 mins. Scoop out using a
slotted spoon and add to the bowl with the dressing. Turn down to a
simmer, then lower in the haddock fillets and gently poach
for 3-4 mins until cooked through. Lift out and leave to
drain on some kitchen paper. Pour 1/2 tbsp into the water,
turn up the heat slightly,
then poach the eggs in the water for 2-3 mins until just
cooked, lift from the water and leave to drain with the
haddock.
-
Toss the watercress (or salad
leaves) through
the asparagus add dressing to taste, then divide between the two
pieces of toast. Nestle the haddock fillets in the salad,
top each with an egg, then season with a little salt and
lots of pepper. Serve the rest of the dressing on the
side.
