A simple fish pie recipe that's quick and easy to prepare. Portion into ramekins and freeze for quick Fish pie is a universal comfort food, we've given it a Spanish twist and a domino effect potato topping. Fish pie, also known as fisherman's pie, is a traditional British dish.
To get started with this recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can have fish pie using 9 ingredients and 12 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Fish Pie:
- Take 600-700 g mixed fish. I usually use 200g salmon fillet, 200g smoked haddock and 300g cod loin. (Give or take!) Alternatively, just buy a couple of packets of mixed fish at the supermarket
- Make ready 150 g king prawns
- Prepare 1 carton cheese sauce (ideally c.350g but carton volumes vary)
- Make ready 2 eggs
- Get 650 g potatoes. More potatoes can be used if the casserole is big enough and if a deeper topping is wanted
- Prepare Butter and milk (for mashing)
- Make ready A few capers (optional)
- Prepare Sea salt and pepper
- Make ready 2-4 cherry or similar tomatoes (optional garnish), sliced
Use both smoked and unsmoked fish for best results - and it's economical! Fish expert Mitch Tonks' fish pie recipe has bags of flavour from the smoked haddock, prawns and cod. Check out Jamie Oliver's recipe for fish pie! This is using pieces from the Jamie Oliver Kitchen Kit range - the key item the latest addition to the gadget.
Step by Step to make Fish Pie:
- Hard-boil the eggs, cool and peel. Cut each egg in half, lengthways.
- Simultaneously poach the fish in a large, shallow pan. I usually just bring to the boil and after 1 minute turn off the heat and leave on our electric hob to cool for 5 minutes. A gas hob might require a bit longer simmering.
- Drain the fish and lay into a casserole dish, removing any skins and bones as you do so. Try to mix the varieties up a bit so that each portion will have some of everything.
- Wipe the prawns on some kitchen paper and add to the casserole, plus the optional capers if desired.
- Add the cheese sauce and gently but thoroughly mix.
- Gently push the halved, hard-boiled eggs yolk-down into the mixture, spaced so that each portion contains a half-egg.
- Boil the potatoes and mash them with a generous amount of butter and a little milk. The mash needs to be firmish, definitely not sloppy, but capable of spreading.
- Using a dessert spoon or similar, gently top the casserole mixture with the mashed potato and spread the mash out with the back of the spoon to ensure a thorough and even coverage.
- Draw the tines of a dinner fork “backwards” to create a light ridging effect. This step will help to get some crispy highlights in the end-product but can be omitted.
- Add the garnish of sliced tomatoes if wished. Indeed, add any garnish that you’d like!
- Place the casserole on the middle shelf of the oven and cook for 30-40 minutes at Gas Mark 5 or the equivalent on an electric oven - my Neff Circotherm setting is 160C.
- Serve piping hot with vegetables of your choice. Frozen peas are a quick and easy choice. I like broccoli and carrots with this dish.
