From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Fish pie

Serves 4-6

Prep: 20 minues
Cook: 1 hour

300g cod fillet or loin, skin removed and diced
300g salmon fillet, skin removed and diced
200g tiger prawns
1kg Maris Piper potatoes, mashed

For the sauce

570ml milk
50g butter
50g plain flour
250g Rachel’s Greek Style Natural yogurt​
Salt and pepper

Pre-heat the oven to 180C and grease a suitable ovenproof dish. Using the milk for the sauce, add to a shallow saucepan and poach the fish, cook both sides for approximately 2 minutes. Drain and reserve the milk.

Take another pan and melt the butter, add the flour to make a paste. Gradually add the reserved milk, constantly stirring to make a smooth sauce. Add the yogurt and seasoning. Place the cooked fish into the serving dish together with the prawns. Pour over the white sauce.

Top the pie with the creamy mash potato. Cook for 40-50 minutes until the top is golden brown.
