How to make a potato casserole with fish in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients. I took salmon fillets, but you can use fillets of both red fish and white (pollock, hake, tilapia). Instead of olive, any vegetable oil is suitable.
Salt each piece of fish fillet, sprinkle with spices and herbs to taste. I took basil and Provence herbs. To make the fish juicier, pour olive oil over it. Cover the fish, leave for 30 minutes so that the herbs and spices reveal their taste.
Pre-wash the potatoes with a brush under running water, peel. Boil the potatoes in salted water over a moderate heat until tender.
While the potatoes cook, make the milk sauce. Lightly heat the milk. Instead of parsley greens, you can take dill.
Melt the butter in a thick-bottomed pan.
Add the flour to the pan, mix. With constant stirring, simmer the flour for 1 minute.
Pour milk in small portions, while actively stirring the mass until the flour lumps disappear.
Simmer the sauce while stirring until lightly thickened for about 2 minutes. Salt the sauce a little.
Rinse the parsley greens thoroughly under cold water, dry, chop finely.
Add the greens to the sauce, stir, remove from the heat.
Drain the finished potatoes. Mash the potatoes with a pusher, adding butter and warm milk at the same time.
Mashed potatoes should be uniform, without lumps.
Brush the roasting tin with a small slice of butter. Put out the mashed potatoes, level with a spoon. I have a shape size of 27x17cm.
Divide the mashed potatoes into 4 identical parts, making grooves at least 1 cm deep and wide.
Fill the grooves with milk sauce.
Grind the cheese into a coarse grater.
Place the cheese on divided parts of the mashed potatoes.
Place a piece of fish fillet on top of the cheese on each part.
Place the casserole in the oven preheated to 180S for about 25-30 minutes until the fish are cooked. The main thing is not to overexpose the casserole so that the fish and cheese crust do not dry. If necessary, you can cover the mold with foil from above.
Serve the potato casserole with the fish hot with the fresh vegetables. Enjoy your meal!
