Lee shared her simple recipe for fish pie (pictured) on her website

One large cauliflower, chopped into florets

Two tablespoons of olive oil or butter

Four spring onions, sliced finely

Three sticks of celery

Two cloves of garlic

Two thirds of a cup of coconut cream/coconut milk or stock

Half a cup of frozen peas

One skinless salmon fillet (250mg)

300 grams of white fish fillet (ling, snapper or basa), cut into three centimetre pieces

Two tablespoons of lemon juice

Two teaspoons of Dijon mustard

Large handful of chopped flat leaf parsley, plus extra to serve

Nutritional yeast to sprinkle on top and add golden gut blend or love your gut powder

Potato or pumpkin chips, to serve

Lemon wedges, to serve

METHOD

1. Pre-heat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius.

2. Place the florets in simmering water and cook covered until tender. The florets can be verging on soft but shouldn’t be falling apart. Transfer the cauliflower to a blender or food processor and add the olive oil or butter if using, and a pinch of sea salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Blend until smooth and fluffy. Set aside.

3. Meanwhile in an oven-proof saucepan or casserole dish/pie dish, heat olive oil in the pan on the stove top. Add the spring onions, celery and garlic and sauté over a medium heat until caramelised.

4. Pour in the coconut cream/milk or stock if using and simmer for a couple of minutes then add the peas, fish, lemon juice, parsley and mustard and stir for a few minutes.

5. Carefully remove from the heat and cover with the cauliflower, dragging a fork across to make little trenches. Top with nutritional yeast flakes.

6. Bake uncovered in the oven for 15 minutes.

7. When crispy on top remove from the oven and allow to rest for five minutes before serving.

8. Garnish with a few springs of flat leaf parsley and serve with greens or pumpkin fries.
