Ingredients (For 1-2 Portions)

• One Large Potato/Two Medium Ones, Cut Smaller For Speedy Boiling
• Milk
• Black Pepper, Dried Parsley
• Small Salmon Fillet, Defrosted, Roughly Choppped
• Basa Fillet, Defrosted, Roughly Chopped
• 125g Uncooked Seafood Selection, Defrosted And Drained
• Butter
• Plain Flour
• Grated Mozzarella

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 200c
2. Boil the potatoes in some lightly salted water and then drain and mash to your preference, preferably with some butter and milk, before setting aside
3. Meanwhile put some milk, pepper and dried parsley into a saucepan and bring to a boil or very high simmer. You’ll need enough milk to cover all your fish
4. Add your salmon and basa, keeping the milk on a high simmer, and cook for a couple of minutes before adding in your seafood selection
5. When the seafood is looking just cooked, I usually judge it by a prawn going just pink, scoop it out and place into an oven friendly dish
6. Add about 25g butter to the remaining milk and let it melt before adding a little flour at a time, stirring constantly, to make a medium thickness sauce
7. Pour sauce into the oven dish with the fish and seafood
8. Top with that mashed potato and sprinkle mozzarella over that potato too
9. bake for 30 minutes at 200c

Eating And Storage Tips

I say up in the ingredients this makes 1-2 servings because when you tuck into it you’ll keep wanting to go back for more.

To bulk it out and make it into a really comfortable two servings add things like frozen peas and sweetcorn into here as well and serve something like a salad or tenderstem broccoli on the side.

I put a little mozzarella on top to make this feel that little bit more special but you can always incorporate it into the mashed potato for a more combined flavour or even put it into the sauce. People say cheese doesn’t go with fish but in a fisherman’s pie it absolutely does.

Where this recipe involves from frozen and previously uncooked fish you could absolutely make this up and have it as leftovers or cook it up and then freeze it in portions to reheat and have at completely a different time!

Whilst I use salmon, basa and a seafood selection you can absolutely use one of those fish pie medleys or whatever fish you can get hold of. I always recommend at least two or three types of fish and at least some prawns to go with it as well.
