Helpful notes

· This fish pie can also be made with a packet of mixed fish instead of salmon and cod fillets - just use the same quantities.

· This recipe serves four, so is good for sharing or for 2-3 meals. If you want to only cook enough for 2 people/meals, then half the recipe amounts and use a smaller overproof dish.
