Cod baked under mashed potatoes is a version of English fish pie: chunks of cod are covered with a creamy sauce with peas and dill, topped with mashed potatoes, and baked with cheese. You can assemble the dish ahead of time and bake it just before lunch.

Ingredients

Mashed potatoes

Fish in sauce

Topping

Tick off what you already have at home.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Mashed potatoes

    25 min

    Peel and cut the potatoes, then cook in salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and mash with the warm milk and butter until smooth.

  2. Sauce

    5 min

    Briefly cook the flour in the butter, then pour in the cream, stirring constantly. Simmer for 2 minutes until thickened. Stir in the dill and salt.

  3. Assemble

    5 min

    Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Cut the cod into roughly 3 cm cubes, season with salt, and arrange in a baking dish with the peas. Pour over the sauce, spread the mashed potatoes on top, and sprinkle with the cheese.

  4. Bake

    25 min

    Bake for 25 minutes, until the top is golden and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.

Tip: Do not precook the cod—it will cook through in the sauce and stay juicy. Pieces smaller than 3 cm would fall apart in the oven.
