Fish Shepherd's Pie!

I'm pretty lucky in where my children love fish so this is one of those comforting meals that I make once in a while, I adapt it and change it out by adding in carrots or corn or green beans or whatever. 

It's always a different veggie that goes in, today I used peas. 

 

 FISH SHEPHERD'S PIE 

 

1 lb flounder, cooked 

Mashed potatoes ( I used 6 medium potatoes) 

olive oil 

garlic powder 

onion flakes 

salt and pepper 

paprika 

cream 

1 cup peas 

1 beaten egg and a little bit of milk 

 

 Cook the fish, then shred making sure you get any bones out. I still tell the kids to be careful when they're eating in case one of the tiny little bones got away. 

 

 

 

 In a skillet, add a little bit of olive oil, the fish,garlic, onion, salt and pepper, paprika and the peas. 

 

 

 

Cook over medium heat for 2 or 3 minutes. 

 

  

 

Add the cream (I just eyeball, I think I used about a cup). Continue cooking for a minute or so more until it is heated through. 

 

 

 

 If you see that it's too watery, add a sprinkle or so of cornstarch and using a wire whisk beat well until combined and thickened. In an oven proof dish, layer half of the mashed potatoes, the fish mixture and the remaining mashed potatoes. 

 

 

 

Beat an egg with a little bit of milk and then pour over the potatoes. 

 

 

 

Using a spoon, spread it out evenly to cover the top. Bake in a 400º oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
