Prep Time: 25 mins
Cook Time: 35 mins
Total Time: 60 mins
Cuisine: British
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup salmon, cooked and flaked
- 1 cup sole fillets
- 1 cup prawns, peeled
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 1 cup fish stock
- 1 cup peas
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). This will ensure that the fish pie cooks evenly and develops a nice golden top.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the fish stock over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling. This will help to infuse the flavors into the pie.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and flaked salmon, sole fillets, and peeled prawns. Make sure the fish is well distributed throughout the bowl.
- Add the warm fish stock to the bowl with the seafood mixture. Stir gently to combine, ensuring that the fish and prawns are coated in the stock.
- Fold in the peas to the seafood mixture, adding a pop of color and sweetness. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, mixing carefully to avoid breaking up the fish too much.
- Transfer the seafood mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- In a separate bowl, take the mashed potatoes and season them with salt and pepper, mixing well to incorporate the seasoning.
- Spread the seasoned mashed potatoes over the seafood mixture in the baking dish. Use a spatula or fork to create a smooth, even layer. You can also create peaks with the fork for a crispy top.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Once cooked, remove the fish pie from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set slightly, making it easier to serve.
- Serve the salmon, sole, and prawn fish pie hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your delicious British comfort food!
Tips
- Choose fresh, high-quality seafood for the best flavor profile.
- Make sure your fish stock is warm (not boiling) to help blend the flavors gently.
- Don't overmix the seafood to keep the fish pieces intact and tender.
- Create decorative peaks in your mashed potato topping for a beautiful, crispy surface.
- Let the pie rest for 5 minutes after baking to help the filling set and make serving easier.
- For extra richness, consider adding a splash of cream to your fish stock.
- Fresh herbs like parsley or chives can elevate the presentation and add a bright flavor.
- Use a clear glass baking dish to showcase the beautiful layers of your fish pie.
