Creamy baked fish on potato gratin - easy, cosy deliciousness

4 x 160g/5oz white fish fillets, ~2cm / 0.8" thick, skinless (barramundi, snapper, bass, tilapia, cod) – sprinkled with 1/2 tsp salt & 1/4 tsp black pepper
POTATO GRATIN:
3 tbsp (50g) unsalted butter
2 large leeks white and pale green part only, washed, cut in half lengthways, sliced 5mm / 0.2" thick OR 2 large onions
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 medium starchy potatoes (250g/8oz each), peeled, cut into quarters then sliced 4mm / 1/6" thick.
3/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine, any type (sub more veg stock)
1/2 cup vegetable stock/broth, low sodium
1 cup thickened/heavy cream
CRUNCHY TOPPING – mix: 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1/4 cup parmesan finely shredded

1. Melt butter in large 30cm/12” skillet over medium high. Cook leek & garlic 3 min. Cook potatoes, salt + pepper 6 min until they become a bit translucent (still firm but semi-cooked). Turn up to high, add wine, reduce by 75%. Add stock, reduce by half.
2. Turn stove off, place fish on top, pour cream all over. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs, bake 180°C/350°F (160°C fan) for 30 min (the fish will be succulent!!!) then grill/broil on highest shelf on high for 4 min to make the top golden.
