Made Up Fish Pie


Ok, I got this as a vague recipe so I it made up from that.

I couldn't find any affordable salmon to go in this, but it still turned out delicious with just the haddock and prawns.

Salmon fillets
Smoked haddock
Raw prawns
Peas
Potatoes
Milk
Lemon juice
Cheddar cheese
Onion, chopped
Garlic, crushed
Flour
Butter
Creme fraiche, 2 tablespoons
Ground nutmeg

Heat oven to 190C/374F

Poach the fish in the milk, have the milk covering the fish and simmer Add the onion. Simmer for 15 minutes or so, this should have cooked the fish. Drain but keep the milk, this makes the sauce. Flake the fish up, throwing away the skin. Put into the dish you're going to cook it in. Squirt a bit of lemon over and mix in.




Use the poaching milk to make a thick white sauce. Add flour and a pinch of nutmeg and stir until thickened. Add cheese and take off the heat. Stir until smooth. I add the garlic here. Let it rest.




Then start boiling the potatoes (peeled and chunked) until soft then mash with butter.

Pour the sauce over the fish, add the peas, creme fraiche, mix well.




Then top with mashed potato and cheese.




Pop in the oven until the top is golden (at least 30 minutes).
