FISH PIE FOR KIDS {WITH MASHED POTATO TOPPING}

Steps:

• Heat your oven to 200c or 390f depending on your oven
• To cook your fish, place the fillets in a piece of foil and seal the edges so no juice can escape. Cook the fish for 16-18 minutes depending on the size of the fillets. If you have cut the fish already the cooking time will be less, around 10-12 minutes. Remove the cooked fish from the oven and leave it in the foil until you're ready to use it
• Put a large pan of water on to boil and add the potato chunks to the pan when the water is boiling. Cook them until they're tender and then drain, add the butter, salt and pepper and mash until you have a smooth mashed potato. Leave to one side
• In a saucepan add the butter to make the white sauce and heat it until it's melted on a low heat
• Add the flour and use a wooden spoon to combine the butter and flour until you have what resembles a paste
• Cook the paste for at least 2 minutes, moving it around the pan to stop it sticking
• Add a ¼ of the milk to the paste and use a whisk to combine. You'll have a very thick looking mixture, make sure there are no lumps in it and then slowly add the rest of the milk, little by little, using the whisk almost continuously to make sure the sauce stays lump free and smooth
• When you've added all the milk (if your mixture is still very thick you can add a little more milk, season the sauce with salt and pepper and then allow the sauce to thicken slowly, keeping the heat very low to stop it burning. The sauce will take around 3-4 minutes to thicken
• Take the white sauce off the heat and add the fish to it. Combine gently to not break the fish too much and then add the spinach and gently stir through
• Pour your fish pie mixture into the greased oven proof dish
• Using two spoons, cover the top of the fish mixture with the mashed potatoes, creating an even layer across the top
• Sprinkle the cheese on top and bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is golden and you can see bubbling white sauce trying to escape through the mash!
• Remove the pie from the oven and allow to cool slightly, then serve!

EASY FISH PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Cut a small slit in each potato and place onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour 10 minutes.
• While the potatoes are baking, melt 4 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in Cheddar cheese, cream, mustard, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce is warm and Cheddar has melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Place white fish and shrimp in a 3 1/2-quart oven-proof baking dish. Pour cheese sauce over the fish; stir until well combined.
• Scoop the flesh out of the baked potatoes and place in a large bowl; discard the skins. Add 4 tablespoons butter and season with salt and pepper. Mash with a fork until butter has melted and potatoes are smooth. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the top of the fish.
• Bake until sauce is bubbling and potato topping is golden brown, about 55 minutes.
