Fish pie is a very simple and versatile dish. My little family loves it! I especially enjoy it with salmon and shrimp, but it can be made with any fish or shellfish.
Fish pie is similar to a cottage pie, with the use of vegetables and a protein source, topped with mash potatoes. For this particular fish pie, I used hash browns as my topping, hence the name Hash Brown Fish Pie. My husband even suggested tater tots for next time.
A next time there will be for us. And I hope you will try this Hash Brown Fish Pie too.
Recipe:
- 2 slices bacon, chopped
- 2 stalks green onion, chopped
- 2 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 3 leaves cabbage, chopped
- 2 Tbs flour
- 2 c water
- Chicken stock powder, to taste
- Black pepper
- 1 lb fish of choice, cut into bite size pieces
- Handful of shrimp
- Hash browns, enough to cover casserole dish
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 C).
- Meanwhile, heat a pan to medium-high, and add the bacon and green onions, and cook until the bacon is slightly golden brown.
- Then add the garlic, carrots, and cabbage. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the flour and cook for an extra minute. Then add in the water gradually, stirring constantly to insure there are no lumps.
- Next add the chicken stock powder and black pepper to your liking.
- Turn off the heat and add the fish and shrimp, mixing them in gently.
- Pour the mixture into a casserole dish and top with hash browns. Then place in the oven for 15-20 minutes, depending on the fish. (I used swai and salmon, and the swai needed more time.)
- Serve hot and enjoy ^-^
