Method

  1. Boil potatoes until soft, drain, and mash with milk and margarine.
  2. Lay fish pieces in a medium-sized ovenproof dish and place celery, carrot and onion over the top.
  3. Pour the milk over the fish, cover and bake at 180°C for 10-15minutes until the fish is cooked through; drain liquid off the fish into a saucepan.
  4. Mix the flour to a paste with a little extra reduced-fat milk; stir into the fish liquid.  Bring slowly up to the boil, stirring well until thickened.
  5. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese.
  6. Slice the hard-boiled eggs and lay across the drained fish. Pour sauce over and then top with mashed potato.
  7. Bake at 180°C for 15-20minutes or until the filling is hot and the potato topping is lightly browned. Serve with salad or extra steamed vegetables.
