Make the mash for the topping first. Place the potatoes in a large pan of cold, salted water, bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes or until cooked through. Drain, then mince with a potato ricer or mash finely. Mix in the milk, followed by the egg yolks and butter, then season and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. Place 500ml milk into a saucepan and bring to a very gentle simmer. Add the hake and slowly poach for 4 minutes. Remove the fish, thickly flake, and reserve the milk.
Make the herb sauce by melting the butter in a medium saucepan over a moderate heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for a couple of minutes. Add 250ml of the reserved poaching milk (discard the rest) and whisk well. Stir in the stock, nutmeg and season to taste with salt and coarsely ground black pepper.
Cook over a low heat until thickened, then remove from the heat, mix in the herbs and fold in the hake, prawns and smoked salmon.
Divide the mixture between 4 x 400ml pie dishes then dollop the mash on top. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and piping hot.

Yields: 8 servings
Number of ingredients: 16

Ingredients:

500 g thick white fish fillets, such as cod
500 g thick salmon fillet, unskinned
300 g smoked haddock fillet (preferably undyed)
700 ml full fat or semi-skimmed milk
1 medium onion, cut into thin wedges
2 bay leaves
75 g butter
75 g plain flour
140 g young spinach leaves
3 tbsp white wine or vermouth (optional)
½ small pack dill, roughly chopped
For the cheesy mash topping
1.5 kg Dutch cream potatoes cut into chunks
50 g butter
100 g mature cheddar, coarsely grated
300 ml tub half-fat crème fraîche

How to cook:

Place the fish fillets in a large, wide saucepan and pour over the milk. Add the onion wedges and bay leaves, tucking them in around the fish. Bring to a very gentle simmer, then cover with a lid and remove from the heat immediately. Leave to stand and infuse for 10 mins or until the fish is just cooked. Drain the fish in a colander over a large jug to reserve the infused milk, then tip the fish into a bowl. Set aside.
Meanwhile, make the topping. Put the potatoes in a large saucepan of cold water, bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 mins or until the potatoes are soft but not falling apart. Drain well, return to the pan and mash with the butter, half the cheese and the crème fraîche until smooth. Season to taste and set aside.
To finish the filling, melt the buter in a medium saucepan and stir in the flour Cook for a few secs, then gradually add the infused milk, stirring over a medium heat for 3 mins until the sauce is smooth and thick. Stir in the spinach and wine or vermouth, if using, and cook for 2 mins more. Remove from the heat and stir in the dill. Season to taste.
Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Spoon a third of the sauce into the base of a 3-litre shallow rectangular dish. Scatter half the fish fillets over the sauce, breaking them into chunky pieces and discarding the skin, any stray bones, onion and bay leaves as you go. Pour over another third of the sauce, then top with more fish. Continue the layers once more, finishing with sauce.
Spoon the potato over the fish mixture, starting at the edges. Swirl the potato with the back of a spoon and sprinkle over the remaining cheese. Place the dish on a baking tray and bake in the centre of the oven for 45 mins or until the potato is golden and the filling is bubbling

How to cook:

Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Gently cook the leeks in half the butter until really soft. Stir in the flour and cook for a couple of minutes. Gradually stir in the wine until you have a sauce and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the cream and bring gently to a simmer for a couple of minutes. Stir in the parsley, fish and prawns, then take off the heat. Tip into a baking dish.
To make the mash, boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain, then tip back into the pan over a low heat to dry out slightly. Add the rest of the butter, a splash of milk and some seasoning. Mash really well. Spoon over the fish, then spread out using a fork so you end up with a rough surface.

How to cook:

Rinse and pat dry the salmon and hake fillets, and cut into 1½-2 cm (approx. 1 inch) cubes.
Heat the milk in a wide saucepan until just boiling. Add the fish pieces and the bayleaf, and poach for around 2 minutes until the fish is just cooked. Remove the fish with a slotted spoon, place in a bowl and set aside. Discard the bayleaf, pour the hot milk into a jug and set aside.
Trim the leek and wash well to remove any grit. Slice into 5 mm (approx. ¼ inch) rounds.
Wipe out the saucepan and return to the heat. Melt the margarine or butter, and add the sliced leeks to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, over a medium heat, until the leeks are softened.
Add the flour to the leeks and mix well to coat. Pour the reserved milk back into the pan and stir well. Cook, stirring, until the sauce comes to a simmer and thickens. Cook for another minute, still stirring, then remove from the heat.
Cook the pasta according to the directions on the packet. Drain well.
Add the cooked fish, the drained pasta, the dill and the parsley to the leek sauce and stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning if required.
Pour the fish mixture into a baking dish and sprinkle the grated cheese over. Preheat the grill (broiler) to high.
Cook the dish under the grill (broiler) for about 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling, and browning in patches.
Sprinkle with a little more parsley if desired, and serve at once.
