Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry onion and carrots in the oil until starting to soften. Season with salt, pepper and chili powder. Stir in the cream and parsley, and remove from the heat.
Step 4

Place fish in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the cream and vegetable mixture over the fish, then cover with a layer of mashed potatoes. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.
Step 5

Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until piping hot throughout.

This recipe is awesome! I'm not much of a fish fan; I used cod and talapia. I also used cayenne pepper (1/4 to 1/2 t) which really spiced it up! I found out at the last minute that I didn't have any cream so I mixed in a can of cream of celery soup after browning the onions and it was just awesome! We will make this recipe again and again!

The original version was bland. We sprinkled the top with some lemon juice and salted and peppered it. The texture was great...next time I will add a little more flavor and twice the chili pwdr. I used tilapia and added extra carrots. The fish flavor wasn't overpowering and that was nice for the kids. Read More

This pie is excellent I have made so many times. A friend who came for lunch loved it and then told me he didn't like fish. I sprinkle some of the cheese on before I put the potatoes on I also don't use as much cheese as called for. Thank you soooo much for this recipe Read More

to make this dish low carb friendly simply substitute brown rice for the potatoes. YOu can also substitute shrimp for the fish if you'd like or use both! Read More

Super yummy! Everyone ate it up. I added spinach peas and 2 cloves of garlic and also subbed a very small amount of grated parmesan for the cheddar and red pepper flakes & paprika for the chili powder. I made the potatoes very dry so mine was not soupy in the least. Delicious! Read More

I sauteed thawed frozen spinach with the carrots. Left out the parsley. With swordfish I added a chunky marinara mix. I dont eat fish often as I cant seem to cook it. This was fantastic. I will make again and again I'm sure. Wonderful recipe and very flexible for changes although I'm sure even if you made it to the exact recipe it would be great also. Read More

The leftovers were the best part where the somewhat wet top got all dense and potatoey (is that a real word?). I did sprinkle the fish (Tilapia) with seafood seasoning mixed some cheese into the sauce used paprika instead of chili (feeding wee ones) and added garlic pepper to the potatoes. Without the spice additions I could see how it would be veeeery bland. So my suggestion season every layer to taste and you have a wonderful dish that makes GREAT leftovers. Read More

I did this exactly as the recipe called for and my family thought it was good. They didn't rave but they ate it all and didn't complain. Also easy prep. Read More

I'm no fan of fish at all but I quite enjoyed this. I used 6oz cod and 6oz sole - I wish I'd used all cod because the sole had a really strange spongey texture. I used slightly less parsley too as we aren't that keen on it. Nice easy recipe. Thanks! Read More
