Serves 6
Ingredients
  • 350g fish fillets (cod or snapper), cubed
  • 350g salmon fillets, cubed
  • 450g smoked haddock or cod, cubed
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 2 fresh bay leaves
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup cream
  • 40g butter
  • 60g plain flour
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley
Potato Topping
  • 6 potatoes
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 tbs butter
  • 2 tbs creme fraiche
  • 200g grated cheese
Instructions
  1. Place all fish, onion and bay leaves in a large saucepan. Add milk and simmer over a low heat for 5 to 10 minutes until the fish has just started to cook. Using a slotted spoon, transfer fish to a bowl and pour milk into a jug. Remove bay leaves and onions.
  2. In another saucepan, heat butter, add flour whisking for 5-7 minutes until well combined and flour has cooked off. Slowly add the milk and cream mixture, whisking continuously, until you have a thick sauce. Remove from heat, season and add back in your fish and parsley. Spoon carefully into a pie dish. Preheat oven to 180°C.
  3. To make the topping, boil potatoes whole in their skins. Cook until tender. Allow to cool and then pass through a sieve. To the sieved potatoes add milk and butter until smooth and creamy. Stir through cheese and sour cream until combined. You can either pipe the potato on or smooth over using a fork.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes until top browns and the filling bubbles. Enjoy. PS. It's even better the next day.
