Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Cod fillet (skinless and boneless)
- 300 g Smoked haddock fillet (skinless and boneless)
- 300 g Salmon fillet (skinless and boneless)
- 150 g Peeled raw prawns
- 500 ml Whole milk
- 50 g Butter (unsalted)
- 50 g Flour
- 100 ml Double cream
- 100 ml White wine
- 2 tbsp Fresh dill (chopped)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 800 g Potatoes (floury variety, e.g., Maris Piper or Russets)
- 150 g Cheddar cheese (grated)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.25 tsp Nutmeg (grated)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6.
Peel the potatoes and grate them using a coarse grater. Wrap the grated potato in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Place the grated potato in a large bowl, season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and mix in the grated cheddar cheese. Set aside.
Cut the cod, smoked haddock, and salmon fillets into bite-sized chunks and set them aside with the prawns.
In a medium saucepan, gently heat the milk until it is steaming but not boiling. Add the cod, smoked haddock, and salmon fillets to the milk and poach for 5 minutes. Add the prawns for the final 2 minutes of poaching. Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the fish and seafood, setting them aside on a plate.
In another saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually add the poaching milk, whisking constantly, until the sauce is smooth and thick.
Stir in the double cream, white wine, chopped dill, parsley, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, then gently fold in the poached fish and prawns. Transfer the mixture to a deep ovenproof dish.
Scatter the cheesy grated potato rösti topping evenly over the fish filling, drizzling olive oil lightly over the top to encourage crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Luxury Fish Pie with Cheesy Potato Rösti Topping with a side of steamed greens or a crisp salad.
