200 gram boneless white fish

200 gram boneless salmon, skin removed

300 millilitre milk

1 1/2 cup mixed frozen vegetables

2 eggs, hard-boiled, peeled, chopped

1/4 cup parsley, chopped

Potato topping

4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled, chopped

1/2 cup milk

50 gram butter

Method

1.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C (160°C fan forced). Lightly grease 6 x 1-cup ramekins.

2.Season fish and place it in baking dish. Pour milk over. Bake for 15 minutes, until just cooked through. Drain off milk and reserve for sauce. Break fish into large flakes.

3.To make potato topping, bring potatoes to the boil in a saucepan of salted water. Cook for 15-20 minutes. Drain well and mash with milk and butter. Season to taste.

4.To make sauce, melt butter in medium saucepan on high. Stir in flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute, until bubbling. Remove from heat. Combine reserved milk from cooking fish in with milk for sauce. Blend into flour mixture until smooth. Return to heat and cook, stirring, until mixture boils and thickens. Simmer for 3 minutes. Season to taste.

5.Add fish, vegetables, eggs, parsley and lemon juice to sauce. Season to taste and mix until well combined.

6.Divide mixture evenly among ramekins. Top with mashed potato. Sprinkle over cheese. Bake for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with french fries and return to oven for 5-10 minutes, until golden and heated through.

If preferred, make one large pie or 8 smaller ones. This is a good way to use leftover mashed potato. Crush up any crisps you have on hand and use them in place of the french fries. MAKES 6
