Ingredients
- 500 g Fish or a mix of fish & seaffood
- 500 mls Milk
- 1 Medium onion
- 3 medium potatoes suitable for mashing
- 25 g Butter
- 25 g Plain Flour
- Lemon Juice
- Salt & Pepper
DISCLAIMER
I recommend using the Metric measurements (instead of cups & spoons) for more accuracy and better results.
Instructions
- Boil your potatoes but not until they are breaking up, when mashing them, add some butter and if you wish a little milk or cream, however, don't make them too sloppy or they will disappear into your sauce while in the oven.
- To Make the Sauce
- Firstly chop the onion roughly and place in a saucepan with the milk and bring to the boil then turn down the heat to simmer for about 5 minute to let the onion infuse the milk.
- The onion does not go in the pie
- Melt 25g Butter on medium heat and stir in the flour until it is evenly mixed, about 1 minute.
- Add small amount of the sieved milk and keep stirring until the milk is absorbed.
- Keep adding the milk like this until it's all incorporated, making sure you keep stirring to avoid any lumps.
- Next add the chopped parsley together with salt & pepper to taste.
- Place your fish into an oven proof dish, then pour the sauce over and gently mix to coat the fish.
- I personally put this in the fridge to cool right down before adding the mashed potato, this makes it much easier to spread the potato evenly. Rough the top with a fork, sprinkel a few knobs of butter on top and bake at 170ºc for 50 minutes until the top is nicely browned,.
