Fish Pie with Mustard Mash

I made this on Saturday after Deano left the hospital, I think we just needed something homely and comforting and fish pie hit the spot.

About large 2/3 fillets of fish, pollack, smoked haddock, salmon

Whole cream milk

Potatoes

Pepper corns (about 10), bay leaves and an onion

Parsley - chopped, about a tablespoon

Whole grain mustard

Butter

Tablespoon of flour

Place cubed fish into a saucepan along with about 1/2 pint of milk. Add the onion (cut in half), peppercorns and bayleaves and poach in the milk. Don't let it cook too long, just long enough for the fish to cook through so about 10 mins.

Take of the heat and drain the fish into a collander and set aside the milk taking out the onion etc

Meanwhile boil potatoes until soft, mash spuds with butter and milk and add a good dollopp of wholegrain mustard.

Place a tablespoon of butter into a pan and heat until melted, take off heat and slowly stir in a tablespoon of flour to make a paste. Then gradually stir in the set aside milk until there are no lumps and place back onto the heat to heat through and thicken. Add chopped parsley. At this point you could also add some good cheddar or spinach to the sauce. Add salt & papper to taste.

Pour over fish then place mash over fish - make rough peaks with the mash.

Bake in the oven for about 20 mins. You could add grated cheddar over the mash to make it cheesier if you wish.

Fishtastic!
