Fish pie recipe that's not too creamy?

Does such a thing exist? Want to get more fish into our diet, particularly for 9mo DS, and fish pie would be perfect if DP didn't have a major aversion to creamy sauces!

TIA

Marking place. Ds shares this aversion Grin

Well it's not fish pie but it does contain fish and potato and isn't creamy:

Sauté a chopped onion and a pepper til soft.
Add chopped tomato, diced potatoes and some stock and cover and simmer for 15 mins or so til potato is soft.
Lay a fish fillet over, any fish really, and simmer til fish is cooked

My DCs both liked this, when they were around 10 months I used to mash the potato into some stock and flake the fish for them.

We still eat this regularly now and they are 11 and 7.

Start off by gently frying lots of chopped onion in olive oil in a saucepan with the lid on. Do not take the lid off! Shake the pan from time to time. If you do this for about 20min before adding any other ingredients, you get a lovely rich sauce, without needing to add any cream.

I usually use at least 1 large or 2 small onions for a pie to feed 5.

I add mushrooms, carrots, leeks and spring onions, all cut to similar sizes. For seasoning I usually use a fish stock cube, bay leaf, tarragon, parsley, black pepper. I like to thicken it with cornflour.

When that's all just barely cooked, add the fish and mix well. Bung into your pie dish and top with topping of choice. We prefer pastry to mash, preferably with pastry fish swimming through egg wash seas, and blowing pastry bubbles! Bake. Eat. Yumm.

Oooh, yes, I do this one...

Saute 4 sliced leeks, 3 cloves of chopped garlic and 1 tbsp grated ginger in 25g butter for about 10mins. Then add 800g cubed mixed fish (white and salmon is good), 2tbsp chopped dill and season with salt and pepper. I then wrap this in filo pastry and cook in oven for about 20mins, but you could easily top with mashed potato (normal or sweet potato) or potato slices. I serve it with soured cream on the side with spring onions, chives and a bit of lime juice mixed in. Yum!

Shamelessly marking place for recipes.

We so need a greedy emoticon.

Thanks for the suggestions, they both sound good. Will have to give them a go!
