Annabel Karmel Fish Pies

Ingredients
Potato Topping
800g (1 3/4 lb) potatoes
30 g (1 oz) butter
7 tbsp milk
4 tbsp freshly grated parmesan
1 egg, lightly beaten
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the sauce
45 g (1 1/2 oz) butter
1 large shallot diced
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
45 g (1 1/2 oz) flour
450 ml (15 fl.oz) fish stock
6 tbsp double cream
1 1/2 chopped fresh dill (or chives)
salt and freshly ground pepper, to season
Salmon and Cod filling
250 g (9 oz) salmon, skin removed and cut into 2cm chunks
250 g (9 oz) cod, skin removed and cut into 2 cm chunks
150 g (5 1/2 oz) small cooked prawns
70 g (2 1/2 oz) frozen peas

Recipe
Boil the potatoes in salted water.

Preheat the oven to 200oC

Drain the potatoes when they are tender.

Add the butter and milk along with the parmesan.

Mash to a smooth and even consistency.

Season to taste.

To make the sauce melt the butter and sautee the shallot for 5-6 minutes until soft

Add the white wine vinegar and boil for two to three minutes until the liquid has evaporated

Stir in the flour to make a roux. The flour will bind with the remaining liquid to form a paste.

Then gradually add the fish stock and then cook over a medium heat, stirring continuously until the sauce becomes smooth.

Bring to the boil then cook, stirring, until thickened.

Chop some fresh dill, or fresh parsley also works really well with this recipe.

Remove the sauce from the heat and then stir in the cream and the chopped dill or parsley

Season well as the fish is unseasoned. The sauce will be smooth with a glossy finish.

Divide all the fish and peas among 4- 6 mini ramekins depending on their size and pour over the sauce

Cover the mixture with the mashed potato and smooth with a knife.

Now brush the top of the potato with a little beaten egg and bake in your oven for 25 minutes.

A pie for all the family to enjoy
