CREAMY FISH PIE

50g butter
 50g plain flour
 600ml semi-skimmed milk
 142ml single cream
 Squeeze of lemon juice
 85g bag Asda Watercress, roughly chopped
 450g smoked haddock fillet, skinned and cut into chunks
 100g white fish fillet such as cod or haddock, cut into chunks
 340g block frozen puff pastry, thawed
 1 egg, beaten, to glaze
 HOW TO MAKE:

1
Preheat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Melt the butter in a large saucepan and add the flour. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute, then remove from the heat. Gradually stir in the milk. Return to the heat and bring to the boil, stirring until thickened.
2
Stir in the cream and lemon juice, and season. Stir in the watercress. Place the fish in an ovenproof pie dish and pour over the watercress sauce.
3
On a floured surface, roll out the pastry to the thickness of a pound coin, large enough to cover the dish. Brush the edge of the dish with a little egg and place the pastry over the dish. Trim the edges. Make a small hole in the centre to allow steam to escape, then brush with the egg. Bake for 35 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden.
