Ingredients

• 500 grams White fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
• 200 grams Smoked fish fillets (such as smoked haddock)
• 200 grams Raw prawns, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium Carrot, finely diced
• 1 medium Celery stalk, finely diced
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 400 ml Coconut milk
• 200 ml Vegetable stock
• 1 Bay leaf
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh dill
• 1 kg Potatoes for mashing
• 50 grams Dairy-free margarine
• 100 ml Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/390°F.

Step 2

Peel and chop the potatoes into large chunks. Place them in a pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable stock, then add the bay leaf and black pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 7

Place the white fish fillets and smoked fish fillets into the pan with the vegetable mixture. Cook gently for about 5 minutes until the fish begins to flake.

Step 8

Add the prawns and simmer for another 2-3 minutes until they are just pink.

Step 9

Remove the pan from heat, discard the bay leaf, and stir in the fresh dill.

Step 10

Once the potatoes are done, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the dairy-free margarine, almond milk, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 11

Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy, adjusting the consistency with more almond milk if necessary.

Step 12

Spoon the fish mixture into a large baking dish, then dollop the mashed potatoes on top, spreading them out evenly to cover the fish completely.

Step 13

Use a fork to create decorative ridges on the mashed potatoes, if desired.

Step 14

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 15

Allow the fish pie to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free classic fish pie!
