Instructions
- Put the peeled and chopped potatoes into a saucepan and cover with boiling water. Bring back to the boil, lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are soft.
- Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 220C / 200C fan / gas mark 7 / 425F. Tip the fish pie mix into a wide, shallow ovenproof dish and pour over the milk. Season with salt and pepper and put the dish, uncovered, into the warming oven for 10 minutes.
- While the potatoes and fish are cooking, drizzle about 1 tablespoon of olive oil into another saucepan. Add in the chopped onion and carrot, cover and cook on a low heat for about 5 minutes until soft but not brown. Turn off.
- When the fish has been in the oven for 10 minutes, remove from the oven and set aside.
- When the potatoes are done, drain and mash with some salt and pepper, butter, about two thirds of the cheese and about 3 tablespoons of the fish poaching liquid.
- Turn the onions and carrots back on, uncovered, until they start to hiss. Sprinkle them with 1 tablespoon of flour and stir to combine. Pour in the rest of the fish poaching milk (leave the fish in the ovenproof dish) and stir vigorously. It should quickly resemble a white sauce. Add the parsley to this mixture and turn off.
- To assemble, pour the white sauce and vegetable mixture over the fish and stir everything together. Spread the mashed potatoes over the top, using a fork to rough the surface. Pop the fish pie in the oven for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle over the remaining cheese. Cook for a further 5-10 minutes or until the pie is golden brown and bubbling.
- Serve with vegetables and a glass of Chardonnay!
