Fish Pie with Mashed Potato Topping

Fish pie with mashed potato topping, an all-time favourite classic British recipe that brings all the family together around the table. A creamy, salmon and veggies filling topped with cheesy mashed potatoes, and baked until golden, this is what comfort food looks like. It's a lot easier to make than it looks, and the leftovers can be transformed into delicious fish cakes. A good recipe for Lent or Easter too.
