Healthy Fish Pie
Description
This fish pie uses a combination of salmon, smoked haddock, and prawns gently cooked in whole milk with fresh parsley. The milk is then thickened with a cornflour slurry and enriched with cream cheese, sweetcorn, and sliced leek. This forms a creamy, flavorful filling with a delicate seafood taste and soft texture.
The fish is flaked and spread in a baking dish, topped with the sauce, then covered with smooth mashed potatoes blended with Dijon mustard, butter, and sharp cheddar cheese. Baking creates a golden crust and combines the layers into a cohesive dish with a rich, creamy texture and mild seafood flavors.
You can serve this pie as a filling family meal. It pairs well with simple steamed vegetables or a green salad. Adjust the sauce thickness as needed, and customize the topping texture by adding breadcrumbs for more crunch.
Tip: Using supermarket fish pie mix can save preparation time; ensure it is fully defrosted before cooking. Add a bit of white wine to the sauce for extra flavor. For a crispier topping, sprinkle panko and cheese over the mash.
