Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large saucepan, combine the salmon, white fish, shrimp, milk, and bay leaf.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through.
- Remove the fish and shrimp from the milk using a slotted spoon and set them aside. Strain the cooking liquid (milk) and keep it for making the sauce.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat.
- Add the sliced leeks and diced carrot to the skillet and cook until they are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining butter over medium heat.
- Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
- Gradually add the reserved cooking milk, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and comes to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes.
- Add the cooked leeks, carrots, peas, chives, and dill to the sauce. Mix well to combine.
- Gently fold the cooked fish and shrimp into the creamy vegetable mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to an ovenproof pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Roll out the puff pastry if necessary to cover the top of your pie dish.
- Place the puff pastry over the pie dish, trimming any excess. Press the edges to seal.
- Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg.
- Place the assembled pie in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve hot and enjoy your creamy fish pie with a side salad or your favorite vegetables.
Tips:
- Ensure all seafood is fresh to achieve the best flavor and texture.
- Chop the leeks and carrots evenly to ensure they cook through properly.
- Season the fish mixture generously to enhance the dish's overall taste.
- Use cold butter when making the roux for a smooth and consistent sauce.
- Let the filling cool slightly before adding the puff pastry to prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Brush the puff pastry with beaten egg for a golden and glossy finish.
With its combination of tender seafood, creamy filling, and crispy puff pastry, creamy fish pie is a perfect recipe for a satisfying meal. Follow these tips and steps, and you'll have a delicious and hearty dish that will impress your family and friends. Enjoy your cooking and happy eating!
