Potato casserole with fish in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make potato casserole with fish in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients. I took salmon fillet, but you can use fillets of both red and white fish (pollock, hake, tilapia). Instead of olive oil, any vegetable oil will do.

2. STEP 2

   

   Salt each piece of fish fillet and sprinkle with spices and herbs to taste. I took basil and herbes de Provence. To make the fish juicier, pour olive oil over it. Cover the fish and leave for 30 minutes so that the herbs and spices reveal their flavor.

3. STEP 3

   

   First wash the potatoes with a brush under running water and peel them. Boil the potatoes in salted water over moderate heat until tender.

4. STEP 4

   

   While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the milk sauce. Warm the milk slightly. Instead of parsley, you can use dill.

5. STEP 5

   

   Melt the butter in a thick-bottomed frying pan.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add flour to the pan, stir. While stirring constantly, fry the flour over low heat for 1 minute.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour in the milk in small portions, while vigorously stirring the mixture until the lumps of flour disappear.

8. STEP 8

   

   Simmer the sauce over low heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Salt the sauce a little.

9. STEP 9

   

   Rinse the parsley thoroughly under cold water, dry, and finely chop.

10. STEP 10

    

    Add greens to the sauce, stir, remove from heat.

11. STEP 11

    

    Drain the water from the finished potatoes. Mash the potatoes with a masher, adding butter and warm milk at the same time.

12. STEP 12

    

    Mashed potatoes should be smooth, without lumps.

13. STEP 13

    

    Grease a baking dish with a small piece of butter. Add mashed potatoes and smooth with a spoon. My form measures 27x17 cm.

14. STEP 14

    

    Divide the mashed potatoes into 4 equal parts, making grooves at least 1 cm deep and wide.

15. STEP 15

    

    Fill the grooves with milk sauce.

16. STEP 16

    

    Grind the cheese on a coarse grater.

17. STEP 17

    

    Spread the cheese over the separated portions of the mashed potatoes.

18. STEP 18

    

    Place a piece of fish fillet on top of the cheese on each piece.

19. STEP 19

    

    Place the casserole in an oven preheated to 180C for about 25-30 minutes until the fish is ready. The main thing is not to overcook the casserole so that the fish and cheese crust do not dry out. If necessary, you can cover the top of the pan with foil.

20. STEP 20

    

    Serve the potato fish casserole hot with fresh vegetables. Bon appetit!
