It's time to settle the debate. Does @Wu Wei like pie?
A pie any bear would drool for.
The filling:
1 lb (450g) mixed fish (e.g., cod, haddock, salmon, or smoked fish)
1 cup (240ml) milk
1 cup (240ml) fish stock (or vegetable stock)
1 onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, diced
1 celery stalk, diced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup (150g) frozen peas
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
The potato topping:
2 lbs (900g) potatoes, peeled and chopped
4 tablespoons butter
½ cup (120ml) milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Prepare the filling:
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery, and sauté until softened.
Sprinkle in the flour and stir for about 1 minute. Gradually add the milk and stock, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens.
Add the fish, peas, and mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes until the fish is just cooked through. Stir in parsley if using. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Make the mashed potatoes:
Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and return to the pot.
Add the butter and milk, then mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the pie:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Spoon the fish filling into a baking dish and spread the mashed potatoes over the top, smoothing with a spatula. You can use a fork to create some texture on the surface for extra crispiness.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling.
Serve:
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your fish pie!
