- 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 keep the fish tender and juicy, be careful not to overcook it during the initial sear. Cutting the fish into even cubes ensures it cooks through perfectly in the sauce while baking. For a twist, use a mix of salmon and white fish. You can also sprinkle golden breadcrumbs over the mashed potato topping for a crunchy finish that kids will love.
