Fish Pie - Jay
Ingredients
1kg potatoes
1 carrot
2 sticks of celery
1 lemon
½ a fresh red chilli
4 sprigs of fresh flat-leaf parsley
300g salmon fillets, skin off, pin-boned, from sustainable sources
300g undyed smoked haddock fillets, skin off, pin-boned, from sustainable sources
125g raw peeled king prawns, from sustainable sources
olive oil
good handful of baby spinach
2 ripe tomatoes
a big glug of white wine
Optional: a couple of hard boiled eggs, peeled and chopped into quarters
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6.
Peel the potatoes and cut into 2cm chunks, then cook in boiling salted water for 12 minutes, or until tender.
Peel the carrot. Stand a box grater in a deep baking tray or dish, then coarsely grate the carrot, along with the celery.
Switch to the fine side of the grater, and grate in the lemon zest and chilli. Pick and finely chop the parsley (stalks and all), and add to the tray or dish.
Slice the salmon and smoked haddock into bite-size chunks and add to the tray with the prawns.
Squeeze over the lemon juice (no pips please!), drizzle lightly with olive oil and add a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper. If you want to add any spinach or tomatoes, roughly chop and add them now. Mix everything together really well.
Drain the potatoes, and return them to the pan. Drizzle with a couple of good lugs of olive oil and add a pinch of salt and pepper, then mash until nice and smooth.
Dot and spread the mash evenly over the top of the fish and grated veg.
Bake in the oven for 40 minutes, or until cooked through, crispy and golden on top.
