Seafood Filling

Herb Cream Sauce

Mashed Potato Crust

Pesto Crumble

Method

Preparation of Seafood Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Seafood

    In a large pot, add the haddock, salmon, scallops, shrimp, and clams. Pour in enough water to cover seafood, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes until seafood is opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat and drain. Set aside.

Making the Herb Cream Sauce

  1. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and fish stock until smooth. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the dill, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix in the cooked seafood and remove from heat.

Preparing the Mashed Potato Crust

  1. 3

    Make the Mashed Potatoes

    In a large pot, boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to pot. Mash the potatoes with butter, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

Preparing the Pesto Crumble

  1. 4

    Combine Breadcrumbs and Pesto

    In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with pesto sauce until evenly coated.

Assembling and Baking the Pie

  1. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a pie dish, spread the seafood and cream sauce mixture evenly. Spoon the mashed potatoes on top, spreading to cover completely. Sprinkle the pesto crumble over the mashed potatoes.

  2. 6

    Bake the Pie

    Place the assembled pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Remove from oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Atlantic Seafood Pie!
