Serves: 4 - 6
INGREDIENTS
- 1 sheet ready rolled puff pastry
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- a handful of fresh dill
- 3 types of fish - I used salmon, hake and smoked haddock (roughly 300g in total)
- 150g uncooked prawns
- 100g frozen peas
For the white sauce:
- 500ml milk
- 50g butter
- 25g plain flour
- 100g strong cheddar
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
METHOD
-
Start with the white sauce. Place a saucepan onto a medium heat and add the milk, butter and flour and stir with a balloon whisk until it begins to thicken. This should take about 5 mins with constant stirring.
-
Turn down the heat and let it gently bubble away for 3 mins more, stirring occasionally. Take it off the heat and stir in the cheeses. Set aside.
-
Preheat your oven to 200C / 392F
-
You'll need a large baking tray, lined with a piece of parchment paper.
-
Drizzle a little olive oil onto the baking parchment, then season the oil with salt, pepper and a sprinkling of fresh dill.
-
Lay your mixed fish on top, followed by the prawns and then a sprinkling of frozen peas. Pour the white sauce all over. Season the top with salt and pepper.
-
Lay your puff pastry sheet over the top and brush with beaten egg. Seal the edges of the pie with a spoon and make scale shapes on top with a cookie cutter.
-
Bake for 25 mins or until the pastry its darkly golden. Allow it to rest for 5 mins, then lay a board or platter over the top and carefully flip it over. You may want to slide it back into the baking tray and pop it back into the oven for a few minutes to get a little more golden on top.
There’s a love affair to be explored with spice and dairy, and this is the showcase for it!

The sauce is really the star of the show in this burger recipe – it is so full of flavour, creamy and delicious. Serve as burgers or use the same ingredients (minus the buns) to make wraps or bun‑less burgers (use some iceberg lettuce leaves as the bun).
Smashing the cucumbers gives them maximum surface area to absorb the delicious dressing in this salad. Topped with falling‑apart baked salmon, this dish is light, quick and tasty.
