Ingredients

• 500 grams White fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock)
• 250 grams Salmon fillets
• 200 grams Peeled raw prawns
• 500 milliliters Gluten-free fish stock
• 200 milliliters Whole milk
• 50 grams Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Gluten-free flour
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 800 grams Large potatoes
• 100 milliliters Heavy cream
• 0 to taste Salt
• 0 to taste Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 1 Bay leaf
• 100 grams Cheddar cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).

Step 2

Peel and quarter the potatoes, then boil in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the fish stock and milk. Add the bay leaf and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 4

Place the fish fillets in the liquid and poach for about 5-7 minutes, until cooked through. Remove fish carefully and set aside.

Step 5

Add prawns to the stock and cook for 2 minutes, then remove and set aside.

Step 6

Strain the stock to remove solids and reserve the liquid.

Step 7

In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the gluten-free flour to make a roux, cooking gently for 2 minutes.

Step 8

Gradually whisk in the reserved stock/milk until the sauce thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Step 9

Add the chopped parsley and lemon zest to the sauce.

Step 10

Flake the fish fillets, ensuring no bones remain, and distribute them and the prawns evenly in an ovenproof dish.

Step 11

Pour the prepared sauce over the fish and seafood, ensuring an even coating.

Step 12

Once potatoes are tender, drain and mash with the cream and a knob of butter until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 13

Spoon the mashed potatoes over the fish mixture, spreading evenly with a fork. Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese over the top.

Step 14

Place the dish in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.

Step 15

Let the pie rest for a few minutes before serving hot, optionally garnished with additional chopped parsley.
