Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9. Boil a kettle. Peel the carrots and cut into 1cm thick discs. Place the carrots on a lined baking tray and toss with 1/2 tbsp oil. Cook for 25-30 mins, until soft and turning golden.
- Trim and thinly slice the leek into half moons. Heat a large saucepan with 1/2 tbsp oil. Cook the leek for 4-6 mins until softened then set aside half.
- Meanwhile, dissolve the cornflour in a jug with 3 tbsp cold water, add the creamed coconut, mustard and stock cube then top up to 500ml with boiling water. Stir well, then add to the saucepan along with the spinach. Simmer for 2-3 mins until the sauce has thickened.
- Roughly chop the parsley. Break the salmon into large pieces, discarding the skin, and add to the saucepan with half the parsley. Stir together, taking care not to break up the salmon, and season to taste with sea salt and black pepper. Transfer to an oven proof dish.
- When the carrots are soft, add the reserved leeks, season with sea salt and black pepper and roughly mash. Spoon it over the fish pie mix, sprinkle with capers and place in the oven for 5 mins.
- Meanwhile, trim the green beans. Place in a saucepan on high heat and cover with salted boiling water. Boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked then drain.
- Serve the fish pie alongside the green beans and scatter over the remaining parsley.
