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 170Âșc for 50 minutes until the top is nicely browned,.
