Background

For an easy yet delicious weekday supper it's hard to beat this Simple Fish Pie. If you want you can add things like shellfish and various herbs & spices to make it rather grander for a dinner party, but my family is always only too happy to enjoy it simply like this.

Ingredients

1 kg floury potatoes
1½ tsp olive oil
400g fish fillets (e.g. cod, smoked haddock, salmon) cut into chunks
200 ml milk
80g butter
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
200g frozen peas
160g Mature cheddar cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C.
Peel the potatoes, cut into chunks and put into a pan of lightly salted cold water over a high heat.
Grease an oven dish with the oil and place into it the fish & milk.
When the potatoes come to the boil, turn down to a simmer; put the fish into the oven.
After 20 minutes drain the potatoes and take the fish dish from the oven. Turn the oven up to 210°C.
Mash the potatoes with the milk from the fish dish, the butter and the seasoning.
Mix the peas in with the mash then spread it fairly evenly over the fish, covering it to the sides of the dish.
Grate the cheese all over the mash then return to the oven until golden brown - about 20 minutes.
