Healthy Fish Pie
This healthy fish pie recipe with a crispy topping is a real family favourite. You can use frozen fish to make it more convenient, and this quick and easy recipe makes a perfect mid week dinner.
Ingredients
- 450 g potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large leek washed and sliced
- 400 ml milk
- 2 tablespoon cornflour
- salt and pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon grated of nutmeg
- 150 g salmon fillet cut into bite size pieces
- 150 g white fish fillets such as cod, pollack or basa cut into bite size pieces
- 150 g smoked haddock fillet cut into bite size pieces
- 40 g grated cheddar or red leicester
Instructions
- Halve the potatoes if they are large, and place in a pan of boiling water. Simmer for 15 minutes until just tender. Remove from the heat, drain, and leave to cool slightly
- Meanwhile place a large frying pan on a medium heat. Add the olive oil and fry the leek for 10 minutes until softened and slightly coloured
- Sir the cornflour into the cold milk. Add to the pan along with the seasoning and nutmeg. Bring to a boil stirring constantly. Simmer for a couple of minutes until thickened.
- Add the fish. Bring back up to a simmer and cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fish is just cooked through. (It will turn opaque when it is cooked.)
- Grate the potato on a coarse grater, removing the skin as you go. Preheat the grill
- Spoon the fish pie mix into an oven proof baking dish. Top with the grated potato and grated cheese. Grill until brown and bubbling - approximately 5-8 minutes
Notes
You can use fresh or frozen fish for this recipe. If you use frozen fish fillets, take them out of the freezer before cooking the potatoes, so that they are easier to cut.
If you want to make the fish pie ahead of time, place the uncooked pie in the fridge until you are ready to cook. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 30 minutes.
