Provided by Sam Linsell

Number Of Ingredients 17

5 large potatoes peeled and diced (about 3 cm)
Salt and pepper
2 free-range eggs (leave out if you don't like)
2 handfuls spinach (I used 1 x 200gms packet of baby spinach)
1 onion finely chopped
1 carrot chopped/diced (small) - or grated
1 - 2 celery stalks, finely diced
extra virgin olive oil fro frying
250ml cream
2 good handfuls grated Mature Cheddar cheese or Parmesan (or half and half)
juice of 1 lemon
1 heaped tsp Dijon mustard (or English mustard)
1 large handful flat-leafed parsley, finely chopped
500gm- 650gms smoked haddock cut into biggish chunks. You could use any firm white fish - cod, hake, kingklip or salmon. Or a mix of salmon and whitefish.
As much butter as you dare to add to your mash
Nutmeg (optional) - a light grating in the mash
Salt and pepper (I like white pepper in this dish)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 220 degrees C / 425F.
  • Chop all the things, juice the lemon and get everything ready to cook.
  • Boil the potatoes in salted water for a couple of minutes.
  • Add the 2 eggs and set a timer for 8 minutes. Remove when ready and plunge into cold water to cool. Peel and cut into quarters setting aside.
  • In a separate pan fry, the onion, carrot and celery for about 5 minutes in the olive oil then add the cream and bring to the boil. add the spinach meaves and dijon and stir to wilt.
  • Place the fish into an appropriately sized oven dis and add the chopped parsely, lemon juice and grated cheese. Pour over the vegetable and cream and mix together. Arrange the quartered eggs evenly across the mix pressing them in.
  • When potatoes are cooked, drain in the colander and mash with lashings of butter and season with salt, pepper and grated nutmeg. Spread over the top of the fish mixture.
  • You could drizzle a bit more oil or melted butter over the top to get a browner finish or sprinkle over more cheese if you really wanted to be decadent and get some more crunch
  • Bake for about 25 - 30 mins - until golden.
  • Serve with heated baked beans in tomato sauce and blanched green beens (or other green vegetables / salad of your choice)

Categories     Fish Recipes     Potato

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 large potatoes
2 large free-range eggs
2 large handfuls of baby spinach
1 onion
1 carrot
olive oil
250 ml double cream
mature Cheddar or Parmesan cheese
1 lemon
1 heaped teaspoon English mustard
1 large handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley
450 g haddock, or cod fillet, skin off, pin-boned, from sustainable sources
1 whole nutmeg, for grating (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 230°C/450°F/gas 8.
  • Peel and dice the potatoes into 2.5cm chunks, then put into boiling salted water and bring back to the boil for 2 minutes.
  • Carefully add the eggs to the pan and cook for a further 8 minutes, or until hard-boiled, by which time the potatoes should also be cooked.
  • At the same time, steam the spinach in a colander above the pan. This will only take a minute. When the spinach is done, remove from the colander and gently squeeze out any excess moisture.
  • Drain the potatoes in the colander. Remove the eggs, cool under cold water, then peel and quarter them. Place to one side.
  • Peel and finely chop the onion, then peel, halve and finely chop the carrot.
  • In a separate pan, slowly fry the onion and carrot in a little oil for about 5 minutes, then add the double cream and bring just to the boil.
  • Remove from the heat and finely grate in 2 good handfuls of cheese, then squeeze in the lemon juice and stir through the mustard.
  • Pick and finely chop the parsley and stir into the cream mixture.
  • Slice the fish into strips then place in an earthenware dish with the spinach and eggs and mix together, pouring over the creamy vegetable sauce.
  • The cooked potatoes should be drained and mashed - add a bit of oil, sea salt, black pepper and a touch of nutmeg (if using). Spread on top of the fish. Don't bother piping it to make it look pretty - it's a homely hearty thing.
  • Place in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden.
  • Serve with some nice peas or greens, not forgetting your baked beans and tomato ketchup. Tacky but tasty, and that's what I like.

Tips:

  • Select the right fish: Choose firm-fleshed fish that will hold up well in the pie filling, such as cod, haddock, or salmon.
  • Cook the fish properly: Be careful not to overcook the fish, as this will make it tough and dry. Flake the fish into large pieces before adding it to the pie.
  • Make a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings the fish pie together. Use a combination of butter, flour, milk, and seasonings to create a creamy, flavorful sauce.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables add color, texture, and nutrients to the fish pie. Common vegetables to use include carrots, celery, onions, and peas.
  • Top with mashed potatoes or puff pastry: The topping is what makes the fish pie truly special. Mashed potatoes are a classic choice, but you can also use puff pastry or even a combination of the two.
  • Bake until golden brown: Bake the fish pie until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This usually takes about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Fish pie is a classic British dish that is perfect for a comforting meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its flaky fish, creamy sauce, and flavorful vegetables, fish pie is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make meal, give fish pie a try.
