Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 8 large Sea scallops
- 1 pound Cod fillet
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Dry white wine
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup, shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
Peel and chop the russet potatoes into even-sized chunks. Place them in a large pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and mash them with 2 tablespoons of butter and whole milk. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and set aside.
Rinse the sea scallops and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut the cod fillet into bite-sized pieces.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, to create a roux.
Gradually add the white wine and heavy cream, stirring until the mixture thickens into a smooth sauce. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and black pepper.
Gently fold in the cod pieces and sea scallops. Cook for 2-3 minutes, just until the seafood starts to cook. Stir in the chopped parsley and remove from heat.
Transfer the seafood filling to a baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Top the seafood mixture with the mashed potatoes, spreading them out into an even layer. Use a fork to create texture on the surface.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
Let the pie cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
