The other day Mummy decided to make something she hadn’t made before… Fish Pie. I’ve heard Mummy say that she was going to make it before but I haven’t ever tried it, so this must have been her first time.
This dish was sooo yummy for my tummy, and what was best was I got to help Mummy when she was weighing out the ingredients for the sauce and putting on the pastry!
Here is our special fish dish.
Ingredients:
200g Prawns (shelled and deveined cooked)
200g Cod (skinned fillet)
300g Salmon (skinned fillet)
100g Spinach
25g Butter
250g Ready-made pastry
1 Egg
Pinch of salt, pepper and chilli flakes
White Sauce:
5tbsp Plain Flour
350ml Whole Milk
50g Butter
Method:
- Place Cod and Salmon in simmering water for 5 minutes till cooked. Drain and cool. Add Prawns to the simmering butter in a pan until cooked.
- Flake the cooked fish into a bowl and add the prawns.
- To make the white sauce, Melt the butter in pan and whisk in the flour until a paste is formed. Mix in the milk gradually whisking it to avoid any lumps. Bring the sauce to the boil, reduce the heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring.
- Add the white sauce to the flaked fish and spinach, season and slowly mix together until spinach wilts.
- Pour the left over butter from the prawns into an oven-proof dish, tip the fish filling into the oven proof dish and place the pastry over the top, leaving a rim of 5 cm over the edge of the dish.
- Gently press the sides down until the dish is secure and there are no gaps between the dish and the pastry.
- Poke a small design with a fork to create air holes in the middle of the pastry and coat the entire top with the egg.
- Place in the oven to cook the pastry till brown (25 minutes on 200C).
This dish was so simple being made, smelt delicious and went down a treat that I couldn’t wait to have more… Yum Yum. (Mummy please keep this on our regular menu)
