Easy fish pie is one of the most favored of recent trending meals in the world. It is enjoyed by millions daily. It’s easy, it is quick, it tastes yummy. Easy fish pie is something which I’ve loved my entire life. They are nice and they look wonderful.

To begin with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can have easy fish pie using 12 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you cook that.

The ingredients needed to make Easy fish pie:
  1. Make ready fish pie mix (we used Tesco which has cod, salmon and smoked haddock chunks)
  2. Take large carrot
  3. Make ready frozen peas
  4. Get large leek
  5. Make ready large white potatoes (could do more if you like more mash on top or half and half white and sweet potatoes)
  6. Take butter
  7. Take cheese (grated) - stronger cheddar is nice but I kept it milder for the kiddies
  8. Prepare plain flour (we used cornflour as trying to keep gluten free - you'll probaby need a little less of this)
  9. Prepare butter
  10. Make ready milk - semi or whole milk is best or try coconut or oat milk
  11. Make ready mustard (optional)
  12. Prepare salt and pepper

A normal fish pie uses a basic white sauce, with cooked fish, topped with mashed potato. You can also add parsley, or cheese to the white sauce. This recipe, uses Creme Fraiche in place of the white sauce as a simple 'hack' to speed things up. Drain the potatoes and leave to steam-dry.

Steps to make Easy fish pie:
  1. Peel and chop the potatoes into small chunks. Place in a pan of boiling, slightly salted water and bring to the boil. Simmer for approx. 10 minute until they are cooked through. Drain thoroughly and add the butter and a dash of milk. Mash well and put aside.
  2. Peel the carrot and grate into an medium overproof dish. Grate or thinkly slice the leeks and add to the dish.
  3. Add the frozen peas and the fish and mix well.
  4. Make the cheese sauce by melting 50g butter in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the cornflour and stir thoroughly until it starts to form a paste (roux). Add a little of the milk and stir to incorporate the roux and the liquid. You will need to keep doing this until all the milk is added, making sure there are no lumps in the sauce. A whisk may help you do this.
  5. Bring the sauce almost to a boil- it should thicken as it does so. Stir it at all times otherwise it will catch the bottom of the pan.
  6. Take the pan off the heat once it is thickened and add the grated cheese. Stir until it is fully melted and mixed. Add salt and pepper to taste (a tsp of mustard is also nice to add here if you like.)
  7. Mix the cheese sauce with the veg and fish in the dish
  8. Top with the mashed potato and fluff up with a fork
  9. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180˚c for 35-40 minutes
  10. Serve with some lovely fresh green veg - broccoli and runner beans are the faves in our house!!

Roughly chop the spinach and stir into the cheese sauce. Remove the pan from the heat, then stir in the prawns, fish pie mix and mustard. Now, fish pie is not necessarily the easiest or quickest of recipes, but I have tried to make mine as simple and straightforward as possible…I use a box of fish pie mix from the supermarket to save all that fiddly and messy boning, skinning and flaking. I poach the fish in milk and then I make a very simple white sauce and some cheesy mashed potato. A simple fish pie recipe that's quick and easy to prepare.
