Tia's tip

​

You do not need to cook the other fish as it will cook in the oven. You can use cooked or uncooked prawns 

What do we do?

• Turn the oven onto 190/200C

• Peel the potatoes and put onto boil for 15 minutes or until cooked through

• Place the smoked fish into the poaching pan with enough milk to cover, simmer for 5 minutes

• Cut the remaining fish into cubes and place in the oven dish, along with the prawns (if you are using them).

• Remove the smoked fish from the poaching pan and put to one side to cool.

• Add 1oz butter into the other saucepan, put on the stove to melt

• Add the flour to the butter, stir well

• Pour the milk from the poaching pan through a sieve into the saucepan

• Whisk well until the sauce thickens, add the remaining milk and stir well

• Remove the sauce from the heat and add lemon juice, dill and salt and pepper to taste

• Flake the smoked fish into the oven dish and pour the sauce over.

• Drain the cooked potatoes and mash well using the masher

• Add the 50g of butter and 50mls of milk to the mashed potato and stir well

• Spoon the mashed potato mix on top of the fish and sauce, spread to cover

• Place the fish pie in the oven and cook for 15 minutes

• After 15 minutes remove from the oven and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and cheese

• Cook for a further 15 minutes or until brown on top and bubbling round the edges. The fish should be cooked through too.

Eat and enjoy!
