Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 oz (28 grm). butter; 2 lbs (.9 kg). cod fillets; salt and pepper, to taste; 1-1/2 oz (42 grm). butter; 1-1/2 oz (42 grm). flour; 1 cup (225 ml) milk; 2 tsp (10 ml) anchovy essence (Clam Juice can be used); 3 hard boiled eggs, roughly chopped; salt and pepper, to taste; 1 pound cooked and mashed potatoes with milk, butter, and seasonings

Servings: persons

1
In a big ovenproof casserole, spread 1/2 ounce of butter on bottom.
2
Put cod fillets in the casserole dish on top of the butter.
3
Salt and pepper it and put the rest of the butter in very small pieces on top.
4
Cover and cook in a very moderate 375 degree (200 C.) oven for 20-30 minutes, until fish flakes easily.
5
Strain the bones from the fish if the fish needs it and take off the skin--most American marketed cod fillets are bone and skin free.
6
Save all fish cooking liquids.
7
Melt butter for sauce in a deep heavy sauce pan.
8
Blend in flour and mix to make a roux.
9
Add enough milk to the fish cooking liquid to make up 3/4 pint and blend with the roux to make a smooth sauce.
10
Bring the sauce to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes stirring.
11
Blend in anchovy essence and chopped egg.
12
Season the sauce well with salt and pepper.
13
Add the flaked fish to the sauce and turn into the ovenproof dish.
14
Spread prepared potato over the fish.
15
Mark with a fork to make a pattern.
16
Increase the oven's temperature to hot, 400 degrees (200 C.), and reheat the pie for about 20 minutes until it is piping hot and the top is browned.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
