An even faster fish pie

This is faster still!

Serves 4

500g cod loin – or mixed fish to suit

bake for 15 minutes, drain off any excess

liquor, set aside to cool

Alfredo Sauce as per the recipe given

in “The sauce that floats your boat”

3p topping – mix together

100g Panko crumbs, 50g Parmesan and a generous

sprinkle of Parsley

Preheat your oven 180fan/200c/Gas 6. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.

P.s. Whilst we're on the subject of planning now could be a great time to check your store cupboard for staples, essentials – call them what you will. Everyone has a different idea of what forms a store cupboard. You may not think, as an example, that Panko crumbs would be on your list. You may like to revise it since I've found them to be a lifesaver as a savoury crumble topping mixed with grated cheese of your choice for all manner of speedy suppers.

If however you really feel the need to come home from a hard day and begin peeling a pan of potatoes or cooking pasta – there's the washing up for a start, even if you do have a magic box (dishwasher to the uninitiated) then knock yourself out. I'll take the 3p method above any time!
