Hot smoked salmon Florentine Fish code 165655 Serves 4

You could stretch it.... using Rick Stein's recommendation: flake it and heap on bread served with crême fraiche blended with half its volume of chopped capers and chopped chives. Another suggested accompaniment is peeled/grated eating apples mixed with lemon juice, cr? fraiche and horseradish dressing (proportions to taste).
60g/2oz butter
400 - 600g/¾-1 lb fresh spinach, shredded
600g/1 lb hot smoked salmon

125ml/5 fl ozs cream
150g/6 oz mature cheddar
