Fremgangsmåde

  1. Cook the potatoes until tender. Drain and mash them. Mix in butter and honey mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Pour the stock and yoghurt into a large saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat. Add the fish and bay leaves, season with salt and pepper and poach for about 10 minutes.
  3. Remove fish from the pan, flake it with a fork and set aside. Save the liquid in the pot. Discard the bay leaves. 
  4. In a large frying pan, fry the onion in the canola oil until soft and fragrant. Add the garlic and fry for another 30 seconds. Lower the heat.
  5. Pour the poaching liquid into the sautéing garlic onion mix, add the flour and cheese into the sauce, mix using a whisk to avoid lumps. Simmer until the sauce has thickened.
  6. Add the fish back into the sauce. Season with lemon pepper and chopped dill. Add salt if necessary.
  7. Spoon the saucy fish mixture in an oven safe dish. Add the mashed potato on top and then use a fork to spread it out.
  8. Cook in the oven for 20 minutes or until golden. Serve with the pie with a vegetable stir-fry and glazed carrots.
