This fish pie can be made using any fish you have to hand, but the smoked fish to me is what makes it perfect

500

400

baby spinach
2

carrots,
peeled and thinly sliced
300

salmon or any pink fish
500

g
lightly smoked fish,

65
g
butter,

40
g
flour
Paprika for sprinkling
Method
Cut the potatoes into quarters and steam until soft
Mash using a ricer and add 25g of the butter
Place onto a low temperature and mix the butter in using a spatula
Season to taste and set aside to cool
Place the fish stock into a saucepan
Place over a medium temperature and bring to a simmer
Blanch the spinach and remove
Set aside in a colander to drain
Simmer the carrots until nearly soft and then remove and set aside
Lightly poach the fish, in batches
Remove using a slotted spoon and set aside to cool before flaking
Pour the poaching liquid into a measuring jug
Top up to 500mls with boiling water
Place the saucepan back onto the heat
Add 40g of the butter and allow to melt
Make a roux with the flour and cook out for one minute
Add the stock slowly until you have a nice thick sauce
Reduce the heat and leave to simmer for 5 minutes
Preheat the oven to 180° Celsius
Press the excess liquid out of the spinach
Place it on the bottom of an oven proof dish
Season to taste (do this for each layer)
Add the carrots
Top with the flaked fish - for a pretty effect, do each fish in its own layer
Top with the mashed potatoes
I piped mine on, but you don't need to
Sprinkle the top with paprika
Bake for 30 minutes and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving
Notes
If you do not have a potato masher then remove the skins from the potatoes and mash using a potato masher or fork
