Cheater'S Weeknight Fish Pie
- 6 -8 ounces salmon fillets (boneless or skinless preferred)
- 3 -4 ounces canned smoked herring fillets (kipper)
- 1 -2 hard-boiled egg
- 1/2 - 1 cup alfredo sauce
- 2 medium red potatoes (or 1 large, can substitute 1/2 cup leftover mashed potato)
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
- Microwave potatoes on high until completely cooked (5-7 minutes). Set aside to cool.
- Skin salmon if necessary. Cut into 1/2 inch dice.
- Break smoked herring into bite-sized pieces, reserving any liquid.
- Quarter eggs.
- Arrange fish and eggs into 2 well-oiled/greased oven-proof ramekins (generous single serve size).
- Drizzle any remaining packing liquid from herring over the fish and eggs.
- Cover with alfredo sauce. Tap ramekin on bench several times to allow sauce to completely coat the fish. Alternatively, mix gently with a spoon or fork so as to not break up egg too much.
- Roughly crush the microwaved potatoes with a masher or heavy drinking glass so as to leave chunks. Skin can be removed if preferred, but I leave it on for convenience and appearance.
- Mix 2/3 of the cheese with the potato (crushed as above, or leftover mashed potato).
- Cover the fish mixture with the combined potato and cheese. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. (Ramekins may be refrigerated at this point for later cooking- cook within 24 hours).
- Bake at 350-375 F until sauce is bubbling and cheese is melted and brown on top. I use a toaster oven; if using a full-sized oven, or cook for a longer time.
- Serve with green salad.
- Variations: add capers, green olives, or herbs (dill and parsley) to sauce.
