Bring everyone to the table with these golden fish pies made with a crisp, flakey pastry and served with a creamy mashed potato.
Ingredients
- 2 (about 120g each) salmon fillets
- 2 (about 200g each) white fish fillets (such as hoki or pink ling)
- 2 leeks, pale section only, thickly sliced
- 1 carrot, peeled, finely chopped
- 2 1/2 cups (625ml) milk
- 1 dried bay leaf
- 50g butter
- 2 tablespoons plain flour
- 1/2 cup (125ml) light thickened cream
- 1 cup (120g) frozen peas
- 2 tablespoon chives, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon dill, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 sheets frozen puff pastry
- 1 Coles Brand Australian Free Range Egg, lightly whisked
- Mashed potato, to serve
Method
- Step 1Preheat oven to 200C. Place the salmon, white fish, leek, carrot, milk and bay leaf in a large, deep frying pan over medium-low heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 mins or until fish is almost tender. Remove from heat. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fish and vegetables to a large heatproof bowl. Set aside to cool slightly. Strain the poaching liquid into a jug. Add solids to the fish and vegetables in the bowl, discarding bay leaf.
- Step 2Heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring, for 2 mins or until mixture bubbles. Add milk mixture and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 mins or until sauce boils and thickens. Remove from heat. Set aside for 15 mins to cool.
- Step 3Coarsely flake the fish. Add to the cooled sauce mixture with the reserved vegetables, cream, peas, chives and dill. Season. Spoon evenly among four 1 1/2 cup (375ml) ramekins. Place on a baking tray.
- Step 4Use a sharp knife to cut 1 sheet of pastry into quarters. Use a sharp knife to lightly score pastry, being careful not to cut through. Place over filling, allowing corners to overhang. Cut fish shapes from the remaining pastry sheet. Place on top of scored pastry. Brush the pastry with egg. Bake for 12-15 mins or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed. Set aside for 5 mins to cool slightly. Serve with mash.
