This dish takes comfort food to the next level by bringing together the best elements of a creamy chowder and shepherd’s pie. A hearty filling of peas and cod combines with a silky blend of milk and butter, with a touch of hondashi for incredible umami flavor. We cover the top of the pie with a decadent layer of mashed potatoes infused with sour cream and Parmesan, then bake to a golden finish.

Cook Time: 60 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 potatoes
  • 2 oz of sour cream
  • ¾ oz of parmesan
  • 1 yellow onion
  • ¼ oz of fresh chives
  • 10 oz of cod filets
  • ¼ oz of hondashi
  • 5 oz of peas

Instructions:

  1. Cook potatoes: Peel [potatoes]; cut into 1-inch pieces. Add to a medium saucepan with enough [salted water] to cover by 1-inch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook over medium-low heat until fork-tender, 15–20 minutes. Drain potatoes; return to saucepan off heat. Add [sour cream] and [2 tablespoons butter]; mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth.
  2. Finish potatoes & prep: Finely grate [parmesan]. Fold half the parmesan and [1 large egg yolk] into [potatoes]; season to taste with [salt] and [pepper]. Set aside. Finely chop [onion] and [chives], keeping separate. Pat [fish] dry; cut into 1-inch pieces.
  3. Make sauce: In a medium ovenproof skillet, melt [3 tablespoons butter] over medium-low heat. Add [onions] and a [pinch of salt]. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened, 7–8 minutes. Add [2½ tablespoons flour]; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Gradually add [1 cup milk]; stir until mixture is smooth. Stir in [hondashi] and [1 cup water].
  4. Cook fish: Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Lower heat to maintain simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until mixture resembles thick chowder, about 5 minutes. Season [fish] all over with [salt] and [pepper]; add [fish] and [peas] to sauce. Cover and cook at a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until fish is just cooked through, 4–6 minutes.
  5. Assemble pie: Remove skillet from heat and stir in [chives]; season to taste with [salt] and [pepper]. Set oven to broil with a rack 8-inches from heating element. Spoon [potato topping] over filling, starting at edges and working towards center; smooth with a spatula so it covers filling entirely. Using the tines of a fork, make ridges on surface. Sprinkle [remaining parmesan] over top.
  6. Broil & serve: Broil [fish pie] until topping is golden-brown and crusty and filling is bubbling, 6–8 minutes (watch closely as broilers vary). Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
