FISH PIE
This pie is a firm favourite of my son Jack and well received by all the family. Chunks of white fish and salmon in a creamy sauce, topped with mashed potatoes. (If all else fails and time is of the essence buy yourself a packet of cream or white wine sauce from your local shop).

Method
Peel and boil the potatoes, drain and allow to dry a little, mash, season and add butter to taste.
Rinse and dry the fish, check for bones and place into a baking tray (oven to table is ideal).
The ideal sauce for fish pie is a white wine sauce enriched with cream, or a bechamel. For this recipe 500ml of sauce will be sufficient.
Make a white sauce (according to the makers instructions if you are using a packet), flavour with some fish stock. It is important to make the sauce thicker than normal as it will be thinned by the cooked fish juices. Add a little slaked cornflour to thicken if necessary.
Pour the sauce over the fish and gently mix together; season to taste.
Scatter some frozen peas on top of the mixture.
Cover with the mashed potato, top with grated cheese and bake in a hot oven for 45 minutes.
