Number Of Ingredients 12

200g Maris Piper potatoes , cut into chunks
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp flour
200ml whole milk , plus 1 tbsp
½ tsp Dijon mustard
100g cheddar , gruyère or emmental, grated
200g fish pie mix (we used a mix of salmon, haddock and prawns)
50g frozen peas
50g shredded kale
1 spring onion , finely sliced
1 tbsp parmesan , finely grated
green salad , to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Tip the potatoes into a pan, cover with hot water from the kettle and add a pinch of salt. Simmer for 15-20 mins until tender, then drain and leave to steam-dry.
  • Meanwhile, warm the butter in a heavy-based pan over a low heat. Add the flour and stir until you have a paste. Gradually whisk in 200ml milk until you have a thick white sauce. Simmer for 3-4 mins, stirring. Season, then stir in the mustard and half the cheese, and continue to stir until the cheese has melted. Fold in the fish, peas and kale, and cook for 8 mins more, or until the kale wilts, the fish is just cooked and the prawns are starting to turn pink.
  • Heat the grill to medium-high. Mash the potatoes with the spring onion and 1 tbsp milk. Fold in the remaining cheese and season well.
  • Tip the filling into a heatproof dish and spoon the cheesy mash on top, swirling it with a fork until the filling is completely covered. Sprinkle over the parmesan and grill for 10-15 mins until the pie is golden and bubbling. Serve with a green salad, if you like. Uncooked pie, well covered in the dish, will keep in the freezer for up to three months.
