Time 1h10m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

12 -14 ounces catfish or 12 -14 ounces tilapia fillets
1 lime, juice and zest of
10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry as much as possible
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream or 1/2 cup creme fraiche
1/2 cup fresh basil leaf, chopped
1/2 cup green onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 cup cashew nuts, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
fresh grated nutmeg, to taste
5 sheets phyllo pastry
olive oil, for brushing
4 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
4 -6 ounces mild brie cheese or 4 -6 ounces mozzarella cheese, chopped
2 tomatoes, sliced or 10 cherry tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Cube the fish, sprinkle with lime juice and set aside.
  • Mix together the spinach, eggs, sour cream, basil, green onions, garlic and cashew nuts, also add the zest of the lime.
  • Add seasonings to taste.
  • Brush a 9 inch round baking tin with olive oil, a loose bottom or springform pan will make it easier to remove the pie after baking.
  • Brush a sheet of phyllo with olive oil, line the tin, sprinkle with some breadcrumbs, repeat with all the sheets overlapping each time and using the breadcrumbs, you will have lots of pastry hanging over the side of the tin.
  • Drain the fish, mix gently with the spinach mixture and pour in the pastry lined tin.
  • Top with the cheese and then the tomatoes.
  • Roll the overhanging pastry up and over the edge of the tin, ending up with a tight roll all the way around the pie but on the inside of the tin, then brush the pastry roll with olive oil.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, let stand for 5 minutes and remove from the tin.

This pie is a great make-ahead meal. You can assemble it the night before and bake it the next day.

I'm a vegetarian, but I still love this pie. I just omit the fish and add extra vegetables to the filling.

This pie is a great way to get your kids to eat fish. My kids love the flaky crust and the flavorful filling.

I love that this pie is made with phyllo dough. It's so much lighter and flakier than traditional pie crust.

This pie is so versatile! You can use any type of fish you like, and you can add different vegetables to the filling. I've even made it with a gluten-free phyllo dough.

This pie was easy to make, and it turned out beautifully. The phyllo dough was a little tricky to work with, but I got the hang of it after a few tries.

I'm not a huge fan of fish, but this pie was so good that I ate two pieces! The phyllo dough was flaky and buttery, and the filling was flavorful and moist.
