As I am getting old, I have more time to spend on cooking, but I tend to seek for a quicker and easier way to cook a dish. Today I was cooking Fish Pie, that is one of my family’s favourite winter dishes. It is not difficult to cook, but a lot of work is required. I just didn’t want to do the Mashed Potato part. So I mixed boiled Potato pieces with the filling, covered with Cheese, and baked it. This is the result. Same ingredients. Quicker and easier. And tastes great!!!

Steps

30 minutes

1

Season Fish Fillets with Salt & Pepper.
2

Peel Potatoes, cut into bite-size pieces, and cook in salted water until soft. Drain when cooked.
3

Place Onion, Garlic, Bay Leaf and Fish Fillets in a deep frying pan or a pot. Pour the Milk and heat over a medium low heat, cover with lid, and simmer until Fish Fillets are cooked. *Note: You can precook Onion and Garlic with a little Oil if you wish to do so.
4

Transfer Fish Fillets to a plate. When cool enough to handle, remove skin and bones, and break into bite-sized pieces.
5

Place Butter in a heat-proof bowl, melt in the microwave, stir in Flour, and mix well. This process can be done using a saucepan. Add it to the Milk mixture in the pan, and cook, string well, until thickened. Season with Salt and Pepper.
6

Add the Fish pieces, Frozen Peas and the drained Potato pieces, and gently combine. Spoon the mixture into a baking dish, cover with Cheese, and bake in the oven at 220℃ for 15 minutes OR until nicely browned.
