Ingredients

  • 500g white fish fillets, such as cod or haddock
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 sheets of puff pastry
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Cut the fish fillets into bite-sized pieces and place them in a baking dish.
  3. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and cook until softened.
  4. Add the mixed vegetables to the saucepan and cook for a few minutes.
  5. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  6. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens.
  7. Pour the creamy vegetable sauce over the fish in the baking dish. Mix gently to coat the fish.
  8. Roll out the puff pastry sheets and place them over the fish mixture, trimming any excess pastry. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  10. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
