Cheesy Crunchy Fish Pie

One of the Joys of living on your own, is that you can eat what you want, when you want. 

I love Fish Pie, always have, always will. Although I never had it when I was at home. That was because my dad didn't like anything creamy or that had anything to do with mashed potato. 

Here's my recipe for a tasty delicious fish pie, that will go down well will all! 

Ingredients: 

1 large salmon fillet

1 large white cod or haddock fillet

 1 packet of cooked and peeled prawns 

2 eggs, hard boiled 

400ml skimmed milk

1 hanful of frozen peas

1 tsp coconut oil

2 bay leaves

30 g plain gluten free flour

4-5 large 'floury' potatoes boiled so soft

25ml of milk 

1 tbsp butter 

1 handful of grated cheddar

2 handfuls of fresh breadcrumbs 

Method:

Pre heat the oven to 220 degrees 

Bring the 400ml of milk to the boil in a pan, with the two bay leaves

Poach the salmon and cod in the milk until flaky

Remove the fish and place in the bottom of a pyrex dish. Add the prawns to the bottom of the dish

Remove the bay leaves, and add the flour and coconut oil to the milk and whisk so there are no lumps. Grind salt and pepper to taste

Add half the grated cheese to the mixture, and whisk again

Peel and quarter the boiled eggs and place amongst the fish along with a handful of frozen peas

Pour the white sauce over the fish

When boiled, mas your potatoes in a saucepan with the milk and tbsp of butter until soft and creamy

Spread the mashed potato on top of the filling and spread evenly with a fork

Mix the fresh breadcrumbs with the remaining cheddar and sprinkle over the top 

Place in the oven for 30-35 minutes 

Serve with your choice of veg

Hope you enjoy! This serves 4-6 people - or in my case...4-5 dinners and lunches!
