How to make Creamy Cheesy Fish Pies
Prepare the Fish
Mix flour and fish spice, then coat the fish.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan and brown the fish.
Cut the fish into small chunks and set aside.
Prepare the Filling
In a clean skillet, melt butter.
Add onions, carrots, potatoes, and celery, and cook for about 5 minutes until soft and tender.
Add more spice, stir, and add in water.
Let it simmer for 3 minutes until vegetables are cooked, then add cream and cornstarch to thicken the sauce.
Add in fish and mix gently. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes and it's done.
Assemble and Bake the Pies
Let the fish filling cool slightly, then assemble your pie.
Add cheese at the bottom and at the top of the fish filling.
Open vents on your pies before baking, egg wash, and sprinkle sesame seeds.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C until golden brown and crispy.
