Description

A comforting seafood classic featuring tender white fish, salmon, and shrimp in a creamy herb sauce, baked under a golden flaky puff pastry crust until bubbling and rich.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces white fish fillets, cut into chunks
  • 8 ounces salmon fillet, skin removed and cubed
  • 8 ounces shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 large egg, beaten


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, then stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the onion mixture and whisk continuously for 1 to 2 minutes to form a roux.
  4. Gradually pour in the milk while whisking until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Add white fish, salmon, and shrimp to the sauce. Cook gently for 3 to 4 minutes until the seafood just begins to turn opaque.
  6. Stir in chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and transfer the filling to a baking dish.
  7. Lay the puff pastry sheet over the top of the dish, trim excess pastry, and press edges to seal. Cut small vents in the top.
  8. Brush the pastry evenly with the beaten egg.
  9. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the pastry is deeply golden and the filling is bubbling. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Pat seafood dry before adding to prevent excess moisture.
  • Allow the sauce to thicken fully before adding fish.
  • Keep puff pastry cold until ready to use for best flakiness.
  • Let the pie rest before serving so the filling sets properly.
