Can you make a tasty and filling fish pie in under 30 minutes? Yes, you can. We think this delicious combination of fish, spinach and cheese is one of the best recipes ever!
Serves: 2
Ingredients
- 200g smoked or fresh fish
- 1 bunch spring onions
- 125g baby spinach or silverbeet
- 75g Cheddar cheese
- 4 sheets of filo pastry
Method
Preheat the oven to 200ºC. In a bowl, cover the fish, if it is smoked, with boiling kettle water. Put aside to soak while you trim and roughly chop the spring onions, placing them into a 30cm non-stick ovenproof frying pan on a high heat with one tablespoon of olive oil. Stir and fry for two minutes, then pile the spinach or silverbeet on top, let it wilt down and turn off the heat.
Spoon 100ml of the soaking water over the spinach, then drain the fish, break up the pieces and sit them evenly around the pan. Finely grate over most of the cheese and season well with black pepper. Quickly layer the filo on top, tucking it around the fish and up the sides of the pan, tearing the last sheet on top in a nutty fashion. Grate over the last bit of cheese, drizzle with 1/2 a tablespoon of olive oil, and bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Easy as pie!
