Nursery Fish Pie
Makes 6 adult portions

350g white fish fillets skinned
350ml milk
1 bay leaf
4 peppercorns
sprig of fresh parsley
salt and pepper
25g butter
25g plain flour
40g grated cheese
2 tbsp chives, chopped
1/2 tbsp dill, chopped
2 tsp lemon juice
1 hard boiled egg, chopped
60g pea, cooked


Topping
550g potatoes, peeled and chopped
40g butter
2 tbsp milk

Put the fish in the saucepan with the milk, bay leaf, peppercorns and parsley and seasoning. Bring to the boil and then simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until the fish is cooked. Cook the potatoes in boiling water until soft. Drain, then mash together with 30g of the butter and the milk.

Drain the fish, reserving the cooking liquid. Melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the flour. Cook gently for 1 minute, then whisk in the fish liquid gradually and bring to the boil. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until smooth, stirring continuously. Take off the heat and stir in the grated cheese until melted. Break the fish into chunks and fold in together with the chives, dill, lemon juice, egg, peas and seasoning. Place the fish in a ovenproof dish and top with the mashed potato. Bake at 180C for 15-20 minutes. Dot with the remaining butter and grill for about 2 minutes until brown and crispy.
