Fish Pie with Mashed Potato Topping
Description
Fish Pie with Mashed Potato Topping centers on cooked salmon chunks mixed with a buttery flour-thickened sauce enriched with Parmesan and Dijon mustard. Including mixed vegetables and spring onions adds texture and freshness. The sauce is creamy yet light and gently seasoned with black pepper.
The mashed potato topping is made by boiling potatoes until tender, then mashing them with milk, butter, and salt for a creamy consistency. Cheddar cheese sprinkled on top adds a golden and flavorful crust when baked.
The assembled pie is baked to meld the filling and to achieve a lightly browned and bubbling potato topping. Fresh dill and parsley sprinkled through the filling provide an herbal lift that complements the fish.
This dish serves as a satisfying homemade comfort meal combining protein, vegetables, and creamy potato topping. It is suitable for baking in one large dish or smaller portions. Measurements can be switched readily for US customary units, and servings can be adjusted as needed.
