    1 Heat oven to 200°C. Melt spread over a low heat in a large saucepan. Add flour and stir for 2-3 minutes. Add mustard and gradually add 1 1/2 cups of the milk, stirring until thickened. Add fish and spinach and stir gently, cooking for 2 minutes or until spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and place mixture into a shallow baking dish. Season with black pepper if desired.

    2 In a blender combine beans and peas with remaining 1/2 cup milk. Blend until a rough mash texture is formed, adding more milk or water if needed. Spread mash mixture over fish mixture in baking dish. Sprinkle with parmesan and lemon zest.
