Ingredients
- 3 lbs potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
- 14 oz salmon fillets skinless and boneless
- 14 oz haddock fillets skinless and boneless
- 7 oz smoked haddock fillets skinless and boneless
- 2 oz butter
- 2 oz all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ cups whole milk
- 2 oz grated Cheddar cheese optional
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup sweetcorn kernels
- 4 pcs hard-boiled eggs peeled and halved
- 1 pc leek finely sliced
- ½ bunch parsley chopped
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 390°C (355°C fan).
- Place the potatoes in a large pan, cover with water, add a pinch of salt, and boil until tender. Drain and mash with butter until smooth.
- In a separate pan, poach the salmon, haddock, and smoked haddock in the milk for about 5 minutes until just cooked. Remove the fish, flake it into large chunks, and set aside. Save the poaching milk.
- In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook until softened.
- Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add the reserved poaching milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Once the sauce has thickened, add the Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir in the flaked fish, peas, sweetcorn, and chopped parsley.
- Spoon the fish mixture into a baking dish. Place the halved hard-boiled eggs on top.
- Spread the mashed potatoes over the fish mixture, ensuring it covers the entire surface. Use a fork to create a textured pattern on the top.
- If desired, sprinkle grated cheddar cheese on top of the mashed potatoes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Allow the fish pie to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious fish pie mix!
