Hey everyone, it is Brad, welcome to our recipe page. Today, we’re going to make a special dish, easy fish pie. It is one of my favorites. This time, I will make it a bit tasty. This is gonna smell and look delicious.
Easy fish pie is one of the most well liked of current trending foods in the world. It is simple, it’s fast, it tastes yummy. It is appreciated by millions daily. Easy fish pie is something that I have loved my whole life. They’re nice and they look fantastic.
Get inspired by our latest recipes. This is the easiest fish pie I have ever made. I used cod and haddock for the white fish and a few extra shrimp as there were some left in the bag.
To get started with this recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can have easy fish pie using 12 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Easy fish pie:
- Prepare 340 g fish pie mix (we used Tesco which has cod, salmon and smoked haddock chunks)
- Prepare 1 large carrot
- Prepare 1 cup frozen peas
- Get 1 large leek
- Take 5-6 large white potatoes (could do more if you like more mash on top or half and half white and sweet potatoes)
- Prepare 1 tablespoon butter
- Get 125 g cheese (grated) - stronger cheddar is nice but I kept it milder for the kiddies
- Take 4 tbsp plain flour (we used cornflour as trying to keep gluten free - you'll probaby need a little less of this)
- Prepare 50 g butter
- Get 500 ml milk - semi or whole milk is best or try coconut or oat milk
- Prepare 1 tsp mustard (optional)
- Prepare salt and pepper
Cut the potatoes into small even-sized chunks and place in a saucepan with enough water to just cover. Combining fish, leeks, milk, butter, and potatoes, a fish pie is a one-pot supper dish. Some like to sprinkle a fish pie with grated cheese but that's optional, as is the addition of hard-cooked eggs seen in some recipes. Serve fish pie with peas or other fresh greens.
Instructions to make Easy fish pie:
- Peel and chop the potatoes into small chunks. Place in a pan of boiling, slightly salted water and bring to the boil. Simmer for approx. 10 minute until they are cooked through. Drain thoroughly and add the butter and a dash of milk. Mash well and put aside.
- Peel the carrot and grate into an medium overproof dish. Grate or thinkly slice the leeks and add to the dish.
- Add the frozen peas and the fish and mix well.
- Make the cheese sauce by melting 50g butter in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the cornflour and stir thoroughly until it starts to form a paste (roux). Add a little of the milk and stir to incorporate the roux and the liquid. You will need to keep doing this until all the milk is added, making sure there are no lumps in the sauce. A whisk may help you do this.
- Bring the sauce almost to a boil- it should thicken as it does so. Stir it at all times otherwise it will catch the bottom of the pan.
- Take the pan off the heat once it is thickened and add the grated cheese. Stir until it is fully melted and mixed. Add salt and pepper to taste (a tsp of mustard is also nice to add here if you like.)
- Mix the cheese sauce with the veg and fish in the dish
- Top with the mashed potato and fluff up with a fork
- Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180˚c for 35-40 minutes
- Serve with some lovely fresh green veg - broccoli and runner beans are the faves in our house!!
