Fish Pie

fish pieThis recipe was the result of one of those joyful occasions when you try something out and it works a treat. I was driving home from work on Friday having invited some awesome people over for dinner but after doing my Red Thai Curry for the last few Fridays I felt it was time for a change!

There is something wintery and comforting about fish pie and this recipe is a great twist on the traditional cream filled, expensive and  potatoey recipes out there. It contains amazing omega fatty acids from the fish, some  protein and fats from the butter and coconut, plus it is jam packed with vegetables so it is perfect for those trying to drop a few pounds before christmas indulgence .

Why have I been giving you so many fishy recipes? Because it is so important to make sure you get fish into you diet every week. I am currently trying to transition more to a fish based diet and although I am not by any means saying no to beef (I love quality organic well looked after beef!) or any other meat but I just want to ensure I am getting 1-2 portions of oily fish a week to help my body heal. This recipe is also a great way of making fish stretch and not be incredibly expensive!

So why not impress your house by whipping up this nutritious, healing and tasty dish? Enjoy!

Notes

If you find your mixture too runny, just add some more desiccated coconut as this will soak up some of the mixture.

You can substitute any other vegetable depending on what you fancy!
