Kid-Friendly Fish Pie Recipe

Serves: 2 adults + 2 children

Ingredients

• Splash olive oil
• 1 medium white onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 80g butter
• 80g plain flour
• 800ml milk
• Black pepper to season
• 4 fillets frozen Donegal Catch Haddock fillets, cut into chunks
• 2 fillets frozen Donegal Catch Cod or Whiting fillets, cut into chunks
• 4 fillets frozen Donegal Catch salmon fillets, cut into chunks
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 50g frozen peas
• 50g frozen sweetcorn

For the mash topping:

• 900g Maris piper potatoes
• 60g butter
• 4 tbsp milk
• 2 spring onions, finely chopped
• Black pepper, to season

Method

1. Heat the oil in a pot and fry until the onion starts to soften. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
2. Turn the heat to medium, then add the butter to the pot and heat until melted.
3. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute before slowly whisking in the milk to from a smooth white sauce.
4. Add the chunks of frozen fish to the sauce, along with the garlic powder, peas and sweetcorn. Give the sauce a good stir, then leave aside.
5. To make the mash, peel and cut the potatoes into chunks, cover with water, then boil for 10-15 minutes until tender. Drain, then mash with the butter and milk, add the spring onions and season with little black pepper.
6. Pour the fish mixture into an ovenproof dish, then spoon over the mashed potato topping. Using the back of a fork, fluff up the potato so that it crisps up with baking.
7. Bake the fish pie for 30 minutes until the top of the potato is golden brown.
8. Serve with finely chopped parsley and a little extra black pepper sprinkled over.
