Jamie Oliver’s 5 Ingredients Fish Pie is a simplified version of the traditional British fish pie. Using only five key ingredients—white fish, leeks, potatoes, Cheddar cheese, and cream—this dish combines tender fish with creamy mashed potatoes for a comforting, family-friendly meal. It’s a great way to enjoy a classic, without needing a long list of ingredients.

Ingredients

  • White fish fillets (400g / 14 oz): Skinless, boneless fish like cod, haddock, or pollock.
  • Leeks (2 large): Thinly sliced, adding a mild, sweet flavor.
  • Potatoes (800g / 1.75 lbs): Peeled and chopped, for the mashed potato topping.
  • Double cream (200ml / ¾ cup): Provides a rich, creamy texture to the pie.
  • Cheddar cheese (100g / 3.5 oz): Grated, for a cheesy topping that melts into the potatoes.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Potatoes:

  • Cook the potatoes: Place the peeled and chopped potatoes into a large saucepan of salted water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 15-20 minutes until tender.
  • Mash the potatoes: Once cooked, drain the potatoes and mash them with a bit of seasoning. Set aside.

2. Cook the Leeks:

  • Sauté the leeks: In the same pan, heat a little oil or butter over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.

3. Assemble the Pie:

  • Layer the fish and leeks: In a baking dish, arrange the white fish fillets evenly. Spoon the sautéed leeks over the top.
  • Add cream: Pour the double cream over the fish and leeks, spreading it out evenly to coat everything.

4. Top with Potatoes and Cheese:

  • Add mashed potatoes: Spoon the mashed potatoes over the fish and cream mixture, spreading it out to create an even layer.
  • Sprinkle with cheese: Scatter the grated Cheddar cheese over the top of the mashed potatoes.

5. Bake the Pie:

  • Bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the fish pie for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
  • Cool slightly: Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving.
