Fish Pie
by Janesse
Fish is a great source of Omega 3s. There has been a lot of evidence and research recently that suggests Omega 3s can help with anxiety and depression so I thought this time I would give you some fish recipes to try.
FISH PIE
Snapper and flathead are nice in this recipe.
40g (2 tablespoons) butter
1 large leek, white and pale green part finely sliced (about 160g of sliced leek)
2 tablespoons plain flour
2 tablespoons (40ml) white wine
2 tablespoons (40ml) lemon juice
2/3 cup (160ml) thickened cream
Salt and pepper, to taste
700g white fish fillets (without skin or bones) cut into bite sized pieces
24g (1/3 cup) grated parmesan cheese
1-2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
Preheat oven to 190 degrees Celsius (fan-forced).
Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add leek and cook for a few minutes until softened. If the leek starts to brown before it has softened, reduce the heat to low.
Add flour to pan and cook over medium heat, stirring, for about one minute.
Stir in white wine and lemon juice. Add cream and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce simmers and thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
Add fish pieces, parmesan cheese and parsley and stir gently until just combined. Remove from heat. You can do this in one large pie or place in 4 individual ramekins. Line the pie dish or individual ramekins with the puff pastry and add the filling. The filling may look a little dry but it does release juices during cooking.
Bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
