Equipment

  • 1 Oven Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg Potatoes
  • 30 g Butter
  • 30 g Plain Flour
  • 400 g Fish pie mix (salmon, cod, haddock)
  • 1 tsp Mustard
  • Frozen or fresh peas
  • Frozen or fresh sweetcorn
  • Fresh parsley & chives

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas mark 6.
  • Bring the potatoes to a boil from cold water and then simmer until soft.
  • When cooked, drain the potatoes and mash with a splash of milk and a tbsp of butter. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a new saucepan, add 30g butter and 30g plain flour and heat gently until the butter has melted, stirring regularly. Cook for 1-2 mins.
  • Gradually whisk in 400ml milk and bring to the boil, stirring to avoid any lumps and sticking at the bottom of the pan. Cook for 3-4 mins until thickened.
  • Take the sauce off the heat and stir in 400g mixed fish, 1 tsp mustard, fresh herbs, sweetcorn and peas. Spoon into your oven dish or 6-8 ramekins.
  • Spoon the mash potato on top and sprinkle with a handful of grated cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Bake the fish pie in the oven for 30 minutes or until golden and bubbling at the edges. I serve mine with added vegetables and refrigerate the leftovers if needed.
