This recipe is a simplified version of the traditional fish pie, featuring succulent salmon, prawns, and a creamy sauce topped with a crispy, golden puff pastry crust. Cooked in a single pan, it’s a convenient and delicious option for seafood lovers.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Melt the butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced leek and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk, followed by the double cream. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, lemon zest, and chopped dill. Add the salmon chunks and prawns, seasoning with salt and black pepper. Stir gently to coat the seafood in the sauce, then remove the pan from the heat.
Unroll the puff pastry and lay it over the skillet, tucking the edges around the filling. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg to ensure a golden crust.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving. Scoop generous portions onto plates and enjoy!
