Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400ðF (200ðC).
  2. Roughly chop the onions and fry them in the butter over medium heat until soft and translucent.
  3. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the flour and dry mustard until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
  5. Return the pan to low heat and stir until the sauce thickens smoothly.
  6. Cut the smoked cod into 1/2-inch cubes and fold them gently into the sauce along with the shelled peas.
  7. Transfer the fish mixture into an ovenproof baking dish.
  8. Spread the mashed potato evenly over the top of the fish mixture to cover it completely.
  9. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Note

Milk Substitution: You can substitute 5 oz of milk and 5 oz of cream for a richer sauce if desired.

Cheese Variation: Although not traditional, stirring 2-3 oz of grated cheddar cheese into the sauce before adding the fish creates an extremely tasty, richer dish.

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven to maintain the texture of the potato topping.
