Ingredients

  • salmon 200 g (chopped)
  • haddock 200 g (chopped)
  • Maris Piper potatoes 800 g (chopped)
  • leek 2 (chopped)
  • plain flour 2 tbsp
  • fish stock 300 ml
  • fresh parsley 1 handful (chopped)
  • fresh dill 1 handful (leaves picked)
  • double cream 100 ml
  • capers 1 tbsp
  • grated cheddar cheese 50 g
  • broccoli 2 (chopped)
  • butter 2 tbsp

Method

  • Before cooking, ensure your fish (if frozen) prior is fully defrosted. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200c/Gas Mark 6 and have a small - medium oven proof dish ready
  • Peel the potatoes cut them in to quarters and add to a large pan of cold, salted water. Bring to the boil and then turn down to a simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until just tender
  • In a large pan, melt the butter over a medium heat and cook the leeks for 5 minutes until softened
  • Add the flour and stir to combine. Gradually add the fish stock, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens slightly
  • Add the freshly chopped parsley and dill, cream, capers and season with salt and pepper
  • Cut the fish in to chunks removing any visible skin and add to the sauce and stir through and cook very gently for 2 minutes
  • Back to the potatoes. Once cooked, drain and place back into the pan and mash with a little butter, salt and pepper to taste
  • Place the fish mixture into a small - medium ovenproof dish and then carefully layer the mash potato on top. Use a fork to make some furrows on top of the mash and sprinkle with the cheese, which should crisp up nicely in the next step
  • Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until bubbling on the sides and the potato is golden brown
  • When your fish pie is 15 minutes from ready, cut your broccoli into florets and bring to the boil until softened
  • Carefully remove your fish pie from the oven, serve hot with a side of broccoli and enjoy!
