An old classic

With one serving of this pie coming in at just under 450 kcal, this versatile dish also packs a protein punch. You get around 30g per serving. I use salmon, cod and prawns in my fish pie and I used semi skimmed milk, coconut oil and cheddar for the sauce. Its accompaniment is a simple but super tasty part boiled broccoli and peas, which is then cooked in butter before being taken off the heat and tossing fresh herbs through it

With some Greens!

Ingredients -

Preparation time around 45 minutes.

Fish Pie

200g Salmon

150g Cod

150g Prawns

750g Potatoes, peeled and halved (Can be Maris Piper or Sweet)

4 Spring Onions, finely chopped.

1 Red Chilli (If preferred 1/2 of one is fine)

1 Cup of Spinach, finely chopped.

Juice of 1 Lemon

Handful of chopped Parsley & Chives

400ml of semi skimmed Milk

Handful of grated Cheddar

20g of Butter

1 tbsp Coconut Oil

25g Flour

Season to taste.

Greens on the side

100g Frozen Peas

4 Cups of Broccoli

2 Cups of Cress

15g of Butter

Season to taste.

Method -

Preheat oven to 200C for fan assisted or 180C gas mark 6 for non fan.

  • Add the potatoes to a large pot and bring to the boil then simmer until soft. Once soft add a knob of butter, splash of milk and season to taste. Then get mashing! If you have kids this could be a fun way to get them involved.

  • Add 1 tbsp of coconut oil to a pan alongside 25g of flour and heat gently. Then add your finely chopped chili, alongside the onions and spinach. Cook until the onions soften and spinach wilts.

  • Gradually add your milk and stir as you go. This will keep out any lumps from the flour.

  • Mix the fish in a bowl and season with Salt, Pepper and Lemon juice. Take your sauce mixture off the heat and then mix the fish into this.

  • Add the pie mix to a large oven proof dish, top with the mashed potato mixture and then spring over your grated cheese.

  • Place the dish into your over for 20-25 mins and then get started with your greens.

  • Part boil your broccoli and peas, drain and then add a knob of butter. Let this cook for a few a mins before seasoning and tossing in fresh cress.

Plate up and enjoy!
