Creamy Fish Pie



Still in the UK and enjoying some basic British recipes. Another one I was after: fish pie. Around 1 hour in total, massive mess in the kitchen but worth it. 
I watched these two videos to make this recipe, but pretty much followed this one

INGREDIENTS:

-5 eggs.
-4 salmon fillets.
-2 satchels of mashed potatoes or 
1 kg of potatoes.
-2 or 3 handfuls of spinach.

For the white sauce:
-5o grams of butter.
-50 grams of flour.
-350 ml of milk.
-2 tsps. of dijon mustard.
-50 grms of cheddard cheese.
-salt.
-pepper.
-green onions.

STEPS:

1. Boil the eggs for 12 mins until they fully boiled. Peel them off.
2. Cut up the salmon fillets in slices not too thin and distribute in pan as well as the eggs cut up in fours.
3. Get the sauce ready. Melt the butter in a stove and add the flour, creating a paste. Now add the milk and stir and stir and stir. Bring it to a boil and get it out of the stove. It will thicken. Now add the seasoning, the mustard, the grated cheese, the pepper, the salt and the green onions. Make sure it is all tasty and salty.
4. Now add the sauce onto the baking tray with the salmon and the eggs and distribute it. 
5. Add the spinach on top of the sauce, distribute.
6. Now get your mashed potato going (I did instant), and when ready pour on top and with a fork trace some lines. Now add the cheese.
7. Stick in oven for 30 minutes in 200 degree temperature until it gets golden on top.

Delicious. Although next time I will add fish stock to the white sauce.

Who would have thought for one minute that mustard, cheese, spinach, eggs and salmon could actually go together?? We are too tough on the brits....they do some have a couple of good recipes here and there. ;)
