Ingredients

400g new potatoes

250g smoked cod fillet, skinned

250g cod fillet, skinned

300ml semi-skimmed milk

160g pack baby spinach

325g frozen peas

25g butter, plus extra for greasing

25g flour

75g extra-mature Cheddar, grated

4 sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped

50g fresh breadcrumbs

25g sunflower seeds

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Boil the potatoes until tender. Drain, allow to cool, then slice thickly.
2
Put the fish in a large pan with the milk and heat gently until simmering. Partially cover and cook gently for 8 minutes. Drain, and reserve the milk. Break the fish into chunks, removing any bones.
3
Stir-fry the spinach in a dry, non-stick frying pan until it wilts. Set aside. Boil the peas for 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
4
Melt the butter in a small pan. Remove from the heat and stir in the flour. Gradually stir in the reserved milk, then return to the heat.
5
Whisk until boiling and thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in 2/3 of the cheese, the tomatoes, peas and fish.
6
Grease an ovenproof dish and cover the base with the sliced potatoes. Add the fish mix and top with the spinach.
7
Mix the crumbs with the seeds and remaining cheese. Sprinkle on top and bake for 30 minutes.
