Jamie Oliver’s Easy Fish Pie

Ingredients

• 1kg potatoes
• 1 carrot
• 2 sticks of celery
• 150g good Cheddar cheese
• 1 lemon
• 4 sprigs of fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 300g salmon fillets, skin off and bones removed
• 300g undyed smoked haddock fillets, skin off and bones removed
• 125g king prawns, raw, peeled (optional)
• Olive oil
• Optional: a good handful of spinach, chopped
• Optional: a couple of ripe tomatoes, quartered

Method

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6 and bring a large pan of salted water to the boil
   2. Peel the potatoes and cut into 2cm chunks
   3. Once the water is boiling, add your potatoes and cook for around 12 minutes, until soft (you can stick your knife into them to check)
   4. Grate the celery, carrot and Cheddar on the coarse side of the grater
   5. Use the fine side of the grater to grate the zest from the lemon
   6. Finely chop the parsley leaves and stalks and add these to a large casserole dish
   7. Cut the salmon and smoked haddock into bite-size chunks and add to the dish with the prawns
   8. Squeeze over the juice from the zested lemon (no pips please!), drizzle with olive oil and add a good pinch of salt and pepper
   9. If you want to add any spinach or tomatoes, do it now
   10. Mix everything together really well
   11. Drain the potatoes and return to the pan
   12. Drizzle with a couple of good lugs of olive oil and add a pinch of salt and pepper
   13. Mash until nice and smooth, then spread evenly over the top of the fish and grated veg
   14. Place in the preheated oven for around 40 minutes, or until cooked through, crispy and golden on top

   Serve piping hot with tomato ketchup, baked beans, steamed veg or a lovely green salad.
