Five Ingredient Fish Pie (Iceland)

March 10, 2016 by Sarah, Maison Cupcake

Fish pie that’s easy to assemble with just five ingredients. This family favourite recipe will leave you hands free to help with the homework. Recipe post commissoned by Iceland as part of their #PowerofFrozen campaign. 

Five Ingredient Fish Pie Family Food Hack - you won't believe how easy this fish pie is to make from a quick five minute assembly of several frozen food products - an easy time saving idea for family meal planning that will leave you hands free whilst you help with the kids homework!

Fish pie is one of our favourite comfort foods. I’m especially excited to discover a tasty version I can knock up in minutes and leave to cook in oven. No faffing about cooking potatoes separately, no complicated sauces.

Families love heart meals in the week but with so much else to do, I’d not normally consider a homemade fish pie from scratch as an easy option.

Until now.

Iceland is somewhere I’ve only shopped intermittently purely because the branch isn’t as easy to drive to or park near as local alternatives. But since refreshing my knowledge of their hero products, I think I’m going to have to invest in a bigger freezer.

I love frozen food and my freezer is the backbone of my store cupboard ingredients not to mention meals cooked in advance.

Here are some foods I discovered when revisiting my local branch:

Power of frozen ostrich fillets and chicken pies

Ostrich fillets from the Kezie speciality meat range. Other frozen speciality meats include crocodile burgers, kangaroo fillets, venison haunch steaks and wildboard and apple sausages.

We’ve not eaten our ostrich fillets yet but check out these amazing venison steaks over at Supergolden, guaranteed to make you drool.

Power of Frozen Iceland prawns and luxury fish pie mix

I chose to do a recipe with speciality fish – the Iceland range includes swordfish loins, black tiger prawns, calamari rings and scallops. Pictured above are their Atlantic prawns and Arctic luxury fish pie mix.

Camilla made lemony sea bass fillets for her #PowerofFrozen recipe.

Power of Frozen Iceland asparagus spears and puff pastry

More unusual vegetables on offer included these asparagus spears and also kale, rainbow carrots, spiced lentils, quinoa mixes, onion rings and cauliflower cheese florets.

Choclette at Tin & Thyme used the asparagus spears in this fabulous vegetable galette with flaky pastry.

Power of Frozen time saving vegetable preparation

Mushroom and potato dauphinoise with mushroom soup instead of cream and lots of garlicky mushrooms I top my vegan one with chopped salted cashews for a wonderful crunchy topping. Glorious!! Nearly all made from the Freezer from Iceland?????????????? #dinner #recipe #recipes #veggie #vegetarian #comfortfood #veganfoodporn #veganfood #veganrecipes #soup #mushroom #potato #bake #poweroffrozen

Jac at Tinned Tomatoes made use of frozen mushroom soup and frozen parsley in her creamy mushroom potato dauphinoise.

Power of Frozen - did you know you could buy frozen sushi?

My biggest surprises in store were frozen sushi – simply defrost for two hours then eat.

Power of Frozen baked products - patisserie, quick bake bread and custard slices!

And these bread and pastry products; mini Danish pastry selection and a loaf of bread in a box to bake freshly from frozen. For my husband I bought a six pack of custard slices which I’m delighted to store in the freezer as the fresh ones have such short dates on them and now he can get one out twenty minutes before he fancies one!

Are you a regular shopper in Iceland? I was genuinely surprised by the breadth of items you could buy frozen not to mention the large selection of non frozen items sold alongside at low prices. I tend to think of Iceland as being aisles of freezers only but actually you can stock up on fresh vegetables, chilled products, store cupboard essentials and cleaning bits and bobs all in the same shop. Oh and did I say they currently offer FREE delivery when you spend just £35?

Five minute fish pie family food hack

Here’s how I bashed out our fish pie in barely more than minutes and put my feet up for an hour whilst it baked. Printable recipe below too.

Pour over 500ml of instant parsley sauce (Iceland sell a Colman’s version or you could use the Bisto granules kind).

Arrange frozen potato slices on top and bake for twenty minutes at gas mark 6 / 200c. Then remove from oven and cover with foil to prevent burning. Bake for a further 40 minutes then remove from oven one last time, scatter over grated cheese and pop back in to brown without the foil cover.

After another 15-20 minutes, you should have something like this. Ta-dah!

An easy fish pie recipe assembled from five ingredients in barely five minutes prep then bake in oven for just over an hour whilst you help the kids with the homework.
Author: Sarah Trivuncic
Recipe type: Family Food
Cuisine: British
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • 1 x 600g pack Iceland's Arctic Royal luxury frozen fish pie mix
  • 340g (half pack) Iceland cauliflower and broccoli cheese florets
  • 325g (half pack) Iceland crispy potato slices
  • 500ml instant parsley sauce*
  • 75g grated cheese
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to gas mark 6 / 200c.
  2. Arrange the frozen fish pie mix into a large baking dish.
  3. Arrange the frozen cauliflower and broccoli cheese florets on top.
  4. Pour over the instant parsley sauce*
  5. Arrange over the crispy potato slices spreading them out evenly.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes then take out of the oven to loosely cover the top surface with a sheet of foil, return to the oven for a futher 40 minutes.
  7. After 40 minutes, remove the foil and scatter over the cheese. Return to the oven to brown off for around 15 minutes.
Notes
*If you are not a fan of instant sauce mixes you can make your own white sauce. My preferred method to make a white sauce would be to use a power blender on soup program (five minutes) to mix 50g butter, 500ml milk and 2 tbsp cornflour. After five minutes blend programme when the sauce is hot, add a little parsley and seasoning into the mix and blend again for a few seconds.

    Great idea to top a fish pie with potato slices. I usually top mine with mash but will have to give this a go next time! #CookBlogShare

    Love this fish pie Sarah. I was in Iceland again today as I had an appointment nearby! I bought the box of bread which was half price today and even had the broccoli and cauliflower cheese in my hand but knew I was pushed for freezer space so stuck with some other bits. I also bought their gelato which I’ve heard so much about so am looking forward to trying that too! Thanks for including my Seabass & Colcannon recipe:-)

    Such a good idea Sarah, I am so impressed with Iceland, as soon as there is space in my freezer I am off to stock up some more.

    Wow how unbelievable simple is that! I’m like you in that I always associate fish pie with a bit more time and effort than I really have time for so it does’t get made all that often in my house. I’ll definitely be rethinking that view in future.

    Thanks so much for joining #FoodYearLinkup I hope to see you there agin in future xx

    Such a quick and easy version of fish pie! I particularly like the idea of using sliced potato on top – so much easier than mash! Now, why didn’t I think of that? I do love meals that can be put together in a few minutes and then popped in the oven. I currently have a chilli in the oven doing its stuff while I work / keep an eye on the kids. Feels so nice to know dinner is already sorted 🙂 Eb x

    Fish Pie is one of the few meals all 5 of us will devour. We have it all the time! I’m seeing so much good stuff about Iceland – think I may have to pay them a visit. #BakeoftheWeek
