About This Recipe

Here’s our super Elevated fish pie recipe, a brilliant dish to start off with a bit of work in the morning and then leave to cook or re-heat later on for a satisfying dinner or supper that can be ready in double quick time.  


Naturally, fish is the main ingredient here – light in calories, high in protein and, thanks to the addition of salmon and tiger prawns, high in omega 3 fats. We’re then creating a lovely sauce with aromatic vegetables and enrichened with cream and topping it with our super special mash using baked potatoes to retain as much nutritional value as possible.

Method

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C/360F (fan) or 200C/390F (convection)

  2. Bake your potatoes skin-on ready to make the mash later. Keep them warm

  3. Cube fish and cube into chuck ready for poaching

  4. Fine dice the pale green aromatic vegetables leeks, fennel, celery, garlic

  5. In a deep pan heat the water and adding the bay leaf, herb stalks, pepper corns and any trimmings from the aromatic veg

  6. Once simmering, gently poach to seal the fish cubes 3-4 at a time, lifting out and draining dry before placing in your chosen size pie dish

  7. Once all fish and prawns are poached, pass the liquor through a sieve and reserve for the sauce making.

  8. In a deep solid bottomed pan, over medium to low heat, melt the butter and gently sweat off without colouring the fine diced green aromatic vegetables and garlic, until softened, 

  9. Add the flour and stir in to absorb, ensuring all the flour incorporated and not lumpy or catching on the pan base

  10. De-glazed with the Noilly Prat, stiring constantly as it thickens, then slowly ladle in the reserved poaching liquor, again constantly string to ensure the sauce is smooth, until all the liquid is used, sauce thickened and doesn’t taste of raw flour

  11. Add the double cream, bring to a gentle simmer and season to taste with salt and pepper. You could also add a squeeze of lemon juice to freshen the sauce

  12. Pour the vegetable loaded sauce over the fish, allow to cool at room temp

  13. Scrape the flesh from the baked potatoes and pass through a sieve

  14. Let the mix down with the egg yolk, season with salt and white pepper

  15. Whisk the egg whites until fluffy and then fold in to the mash mix, in 3-4 stages trying to retain as much air as possible

  16. Lay on the cooled fish sauce and fork out gently to cover, leaving broken peaks

  17. Finally top off with the grated cave aged cheddar cheese.

  18. Bake in the oven immediately at 180 degrees for 20-30 minutes until piping hot (75 degrees minimum) and the topping is nicely golden

  19. If pre-preparing and baking from the fridge cold, allow 60-75 minutes at 160 degrees, so as to not overcook the fish

  20. Please note, the larger your pie the longer time it may take to reheat / bake in your oven.
