Simple Creamy Fish Pie
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Cut a small slit in each potato and set them on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Bake in the preheated oven until the potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    When the potatoes are nearly done, melt 1/4 cup butter in a skillet over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Add the onion; cook and stir until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Stir in the Cheddar, cream, mustard, and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Cook, stirring often, until the sauce is warm and the Cheddar has melted, 3 to 5 minutes.

  7. 7

    Remove from the heat.

  8. 8

    Place the white fish and shrimp in a 3 1/2-quart oven-safe baking dish.

  9. 9

    Pour the cheese sauce over the fish and stir until well combined.

  10. 10

    Scoop the flesh from the baked potatoes into a large bowl; discard the skins.

  11. 11

    Add the remaining 1/4 cup butter; season with salt and pepper.

  12. 12

    Mash with a fork until the butter has melted and the potatoes are smooth.

  13. 13

    Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the fish.

  14. 14

    Return to the oven and bake until the sauce is bubbling and the potato topping is golden brown, about 55 minutes.
