Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Salmon fillet
- 800 g Potatoes
- 60 g Butter
- 120 ml Milk
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 30 g All-purpose flour
- 200 ml Chicken or vegetable stock
- 100 g Frozen peas
- 100 g Grated cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Peel and chop the potatoes into small chunks. Boil them in a large pot of salted water for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Finely dice the onion and garlic, then sauté them for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Add the salmon fillet to the skillet, breaking it into chunks as it cooks. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the salmon is fully cooked and flakes easily. Remove the salmon mixture from the pan and set it aside.
In the same skillet, melt 30g of butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the stock, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens into a sauce. Add the cooked salmon mixture back to the sauce, along with the peas, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine, then remove from heat.
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the remaining butter, milk, and a pinch of salt. Mash until smooth.
Transfer the salmon mixture to an oven-safe pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
Top the salmon mixture with the mashed potatoes, spreading it gently with a spoon. Use a fork to create ridges on the surface for a crispier texture.
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
