FISH PIE WITH MASHED POTATO TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Oil an oven-proof baking dish with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Place white fish in the baking dish and pour in enough milk to cover the fish halfway.
• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
• While the potatoes are cooking, bake fish in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and drain off milk into a liquid measure; reserve for potatoes. Increase the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Drain potatoes and return to the pot. Place on the stove to evaporate any extra water. Add butter, salt, and pepper and mash potatoes for 1 minute. Add reserved milk, a little at a time, and keep mashing until smooth and creamy. Gently stir in thawed peas, being careful not to crush them.
• Flake white fish into small pieces in the baking dish. Add flaked salmon and stir to evenly disperse. Drop spoonfuls of mashed potatoes on top of the fish; spread evenly to cover. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top.
• Bake in the oven for 20 more minutes.

EASY FISH PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Cut a small slit in each potato and place onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour 10 minutes.
• While the potatoes are baking, melt 4 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in Cheddar cheese, cream, mustard, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce is warm and Cheddar has melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Place white fish and shrimp in a 3 1/2-quart oven-proof baking dish. Pour cheese sauce over the fish; stir until well combined.
• Scoop the flesh out of the baked potatoes and place in a large bowl; discard the skins. Add 4 tablespoons butter and season with salt and pepper. Mash with a fork until butter has melted and potatoes are smooth. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the top of the fish.
• Bake until sauce is bubbling and potato topping is golden brown, about 55 minutes.

FAMILY MEALS: EASY FISH PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas mark 6.
• Put 1kg potatoes, peeled and halved, in a saucepan and pour over enough water to cover them. Bring to the boil and then simmer until tender.
• When cooked, drain thoroughly and mash with a splash of milk and a knob of butter. Season with ground black pepper.
• Put 25g butter, 25g plain flour and 4 finely sliced spring onions in another pan and heat gently until the butter has melted, stirring regularly. Cook for 1-2 mins.
• Gradually whisk in 400ml milk using a balloon whisk if you have one. 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 off the heat and stir in 320g-400g mixed fish, 1 tsp Dijon or English mustard, a small bunch of finely snipped chives, handful of sweetcorn and handful of petits pois. Spoon into an ovenproof dish or 6-8 ramekins.
• Spoon the potato on top and sprinkle with a handful of grated cheddar cheese.
• Pop in the oven for 20-25 mins or until golden and bubbling at the edges. Alternatively, cover and freeze the pie or mini pies for another time.

FISH PIE WITH POTATO CRUST

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes for 10-15 mins until tender. Drain and mash with the nutmeg, cream, butter and some seasoning. Leave to cool slightly, then stir in the egg yolks and chill until ready to use.
• While the potatoes cook, make the sauce. Heat the butter in a large pan. Add the shallots, fennel seeds and star anise, and cook until the shallots are soft, about 5 mins. Add the vermouth, bubble and reduce until there is a syrupy glaze left - this will take 10-15 mins. Add the stock and continue bubbling until the liquid has reduced by half. Add cream and return to the boil for 2 mins, then strain and return to the pan.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Add the fish pieces to the cream sauce and poach for 2 mins until just cooked. Fold through the peas, hard-boiled egg and herbs, season and add a little lemon juice. Portion the fish sauce into individual dishes or 1 large dish. Top with the mashed potato: either pipe on with a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle or simply spoon on top and rough up with a fork. Dot the top with a little extra butter, then bake for 15 mins for small dishes or 30 mins for a large one, until golden and bubbling.

LUXURY FISH PIE WITH CHEESY POTATO RöSTI TOPPING

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 7/425°F/220°C.
• You will need a baking dish about 5 cm deep of 2 litre capacity, well buttered.
• Start off by boiling the potatoes, with skin on, in a saucepan with enough salted water.
• Once boiled though, strain off the water and cover them with a clean tea towel to absorb the steam.
• Meanwhile, heat the stock in a medium saucepan, add the bay leaf and season it well.
• Then cut the fish in half, if they are large pieces, add it to the saucepan and poach the fish gently for 5 minutes (it should be slightly undercooked).
• Using a draining spoon, remove the fish to a plate and strain the liquid through a sieve into a bowl.
• In the same pan you cooked the fish in, melt in the butter, whisk in the flour and cook for 2 minutes.
• Then gradually add the strained fish stock little at a time, whisking all the time.
• When you have a smooth sauce, turn the heat to its lowest setting and let the sauce gently cook for 5 minutes.
• Then whisk in the double cream, followed by the gherkins and chopped parsley.
• Give it all a good seasoning and remove it from the heat.
• Now to make the rösti, peel the potatoes and, using the coarse side of a grater, grate them into long shreds into a bowl.
• Then add the melted butter and lightly toss everything together using 2 forks so that the potatoes get a good coat of butter.
• Now remove the skin from the white fish and divide it into chunks, quite large if possible, and combine the fish with the sauce.
• Next, add the raw scallops and prawns to the fish mixture then spoon it into the prepared baking dish.
• Sprinkle the rösti on top, spreading it out as evenly as possible but not pressing it down too firmly.
• Finish it off by scattering the grated cheese all over the surface.
• Bake on a high shelf of the oven for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.
• If you would like to make the fish pie in advance, then you will have to let the sauce cool down completely before adding the fish, scallops and prawns. After you have spread the topping, cover the dish loosely with clingfilm and refrigerate it until you're ready to bake. But you will have to give it an extra 10 minutes of cooking time.
