Ingredients

  • 300g spinach , chopped
  • butter
  • 250g skinless cod or pollock fillet
  • 250g skinless smoked haddock fillets, skin on
  • 300g raw king prawns
  • 200g tub half-fat crème fraîche
  • small bunch parsley , chopped
  • 3-4 large sheets filo pastry

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas mark 6.
  • Put 1kg potatoes, peeled and halved, in a saucepan and pour over enough water to cover them. Bring to the boil and then simmer until tender.
  • When cooked, drain thoroughly and mash with a splash of milk and a knob of butter. Season with ground black pepper.
  • Put 25g butter, 25g plain flour and 4 finely sliced spring onions in another pan and heat gently until the butter has melted, stirring regularly. Cook for 1-2 mins.
  • Gradually whisk in 400ml milk using a balloon whisk if you have one. Bring to the boil, stirring to avoid any lumps and sticking at the bottom of the pan. Cook for 3-4 mins until thickened.
  • Take off the heat and stir in 320g-400g mixed fish, 1 tsp Dijon or English mustard, a small bunch of finely snipped chives, handful of sweetcorn and handful of petits pois. Spoon into an ovenproof dish or 6-8 ramekins.

  • Pop in the oven for 20-25 mins or until golden and bubbling at the edges. Alternatively, cover and freeze the pie or mini pies for another time.
