Fisherman’s Pie .. it just tastes great

This lovely recipe idea could also be called Fish and Broccoli Pie or Seafood and Broccoli Pie. The Pie topping I use is mashed buttery Swede, a low carb winner.

You could serve this meal any day of the week … but it’s especially welcoming when your husband has spent a day out fishing and as he walks through the front door the aroma of this great dish wafts down the hall way. Of course any dutiful wife or partner will also have a nice bottle of white wine chilling……

Ingredients:
(Serves Four)
Filling
40g butter
One medium onion chopped
300ml double cream
200g broccoli cut into bite size pieces
500g skinless salmon fillet cut into cubes (or any white fish will be fine and can be cheaper)
200g raw, peeled tiger prawns
Three hard boiled eggs - chopped
One tablespoon chopped dill or parsley
Salt and Pepper

Topping
Large Swede
Butter (don't skimp when you mash the swede)
25g grated cheddar cheese

Method
Pre Heat oven to 200 C / Regulo 6
Melt butter in a saucepan and gently sauté the onion, until soft but do not brown.
Slowly stir in some of the cream
Add the broccoli, along with a little more cream stirring as you go
Next add the salmon (or white fish) again adding a little more cream stirring as you go
Next add the prawns and stir in all the rest of the cream
Cook for a few minutes until the prawns are pink, then add the chopped eggs, dill (or parsley) and salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon into a large ovenproof dish and keep to the side
For the topping - cut up Swede and boil until tender.
Drain well, then mash with plenty of butter
Spread the mashed Swede over the filling
Cover the topping with the grated cheddar cheese and place dish in your heated oven and cook for 30 - 40 minutes.
Topping should be browning and the filling bubbling at the edges.

Pour out a nice glass of chilled white wine and enjoy….

Hint - get the butler to do the washing up!

All the best Jan
