3. Push the mixture to the one side of the casserole and add 2 haddock fillets
4. Fry the fillets for about 5minutes until they are just defrosted, turning them once
5. Transfer the fillets to a the board
6. Add the other 2 haddocks to the casserole and fry them in the same way as the other two fillets

9. Add the tomatoes and stir to combine with the onion mixture

11. Bring the above to the boil and let it simmer for 15minutes until it has thickened
12. Add the haddock pieces to the sauce one at a time
