- 1Put the potatoes in a large pan of cold salted water and bring to the boil. Lower the heat, cover, then simmer gently for 15 minutes until tender. Drain, then return to the pan over a low heat for 30 seconds to drive off any excess water. Mash with 1 tbsp olive oil, then season.
- 2Meanwhile put the milk in a large sauté pan, add the fish and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat, cover and stand for 3 minutes. Remove the fish (reserving the milk) and pat dry with kitchen paper, then gently flake into an ovenproof dish, discarding the skin and any bones.

Chef tips
To ensure the fish remains moist and tender, avoid over-frying it beforehand. Cutting it into uniform chunks helps it to cook through beautifully within the sauce in the oven. To elevate the dish, try a combination of salmon and white fish. Alternatively, scatter some golden breadcrumbs over the potato topping for a crispy texture that the kids will adore.
