Have you ever made a curried fish pie?

I’ll admit it sounds a bit weird, but a curried fish pie is a subtle meal that goes well any time of the day. To make this meal, gather your ingredients first. These include oil, onions, garlic, curry powder, nutmeg, parsley, butter, flour, milk, green vegetables, lemon, frozen fish pie, and potatoes.

If you need to, consider switching some of these out. You can add other vegetables, such as onions, spinach, mustard greens, or broccoli. You can also add more spices, like turmeric, garam masala, cumin, or paprika. As for the frozen fish pie, if you do not have it available, add whichever fish you like, such as tilapia or cod. If you want to make this dish dairy-free, consider using coconut milk instead.

All you have left to do is cook the vegetables and spices until the aroma is strong. You can start adding the flour, butter, and milk, creating a sort of roux. Then you can add the fish and other vegetables, cooking throughout until it all thickens.

Once your mix is thick, place in individual ramekins or a baking dish and top with mashed potatoes. You can bake it all for 15 minutes, or until golden.

Freezing and Unfreezing the Curried Fish Pie

To freeze your curried fish pie, stop before you bake your pie. Cover the dish with foil and place in the freezer. Once it is frozen, you can wrap it with more foil and label it accordingly. You can also portion it out into individual freezer bags.

To use your frozen pie, bake at 365 degrees F for about 45 minutes, uncovering the dish for the final 5 minutes.
