Cheese Topped Fish Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Pour the milk into a large pan and add the flour and butter. Set over a medium heat and whisk continuously until you have a smooth, thick white sauce. Remove from the heat, add the mustard, most of the cheese (save a handful for the top), peas and parsley.
• Meanwhile, boil the pasta in a large pan of water following pack instructions until just cooked. Drain.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the pasta into the sauce and add half the fish, stir everything together then tip into a large baking dish. Top with the rest of the fish, pushing it into the pasta a little, then scatter with the remaining cheese. Bake for 30 mins until golden, then serve with salad, if you like. Can be chilled and eaten within three days or frozen for up to a month. Defrost in the fridge, then reheat in a microwave or oven until piping hot.

Steps:

• Put the kettle on and boil enough water for the potatoes.
• Peal, cut into small chunks and then boil the potatoes in one pan for 10-15 minutes, using knife to tell when tender.
• Put the oven onto gas mark 6.
• Dice the small onion then sauté for 1-2 minutes in teaspoon of olive oil in another pan.
• Then add the packet of fish pie mix and gently fry for 2 minutes in the onions and olive oil, make sure to not let the fish stick.
• Add the cup of milk.
• Add the tbsp of flour.
• Add the tbsp of mustard and stir the milk, flour and mustard thoroughly into the fish mixture. Mustard gives a nice flavour to the sauce without using cheese and also gives it a golden colour, you can omit this if you prefer a handful of cheese.
• Simmer for 5 minutes on low heat, stir occasionally to not let sitck.
• Then add cup of peas, stir and take off the heat.
• Drain potatoes thoroughly, add back to pan, pinch of salt and pepper and put over heat for 2 minutes while mashing to draw out and evaporate last of the water. Mash together with a drizzle (about a tablespoon) of olive oil (add butter if you prefer).
• Pour fish mix into oven proof dish.
• Carefully spoon over mash potatos and smooth out. I did a quick cross pattern in the mash to make it fluff up and give a nice texture when golden.
• Put into the oven for 40 minutes/until golden brown.

Steps:

• Place cod fillets in the bottom of a 8x8x2 buttered oven dish.Place dish on a cookie sheet pan because there will be sauce that escapes and runs down the outside of the casserole dish.
• Make a cheese sauce by mixing 2 oz each of butter and flour, 1/2 liter of milk and 3 1/2 oz grated cheese cook till slightly thickened: pour over fish.
• Top with mashed potatoes sprinkle grated cheese over them and dot with butter.
• Bake in a hot oven (450 F) for 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes are golden brown.
• Optional -- I just made this again and put in 2 sliced scallions into the cheese sauce after it was cooked{step #2}.Garnish with scallions.
• Optional -- 1/2- 1 cup peeled and deviened Shrimp added unto the fish gives some added flavor as well!
