EASY SALMON PIE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200ºC, 180ºC fan, gas mark 6. Line a baking tray with baking parchment and arrange the salmon fillets on top - If you're using the frozen salmon, defrost and pat dry with kitchen paper before adding the potato

  Mix the soft cheese and the chopped chives together in a small bowl, then spread the mixture over the top of the salmon fillets.

  In a separate bowl, loosen the mashed potato with a fork, then spoon onto the salmon fillets. Brush with the melted butter.

  Bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the potato is crispy on top.

  Meanwhile, cook the peas in a pan of boiling water for 3-4 minutes. Drain and serve with the salmon and rocket.

Steps:

• 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.
• Spoon the potato on top and sprinkle with a handful of grated cheddar cheese.
• 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.
