Instructions

Preheat the oven to 355 F/180 C.
Bring fish stock and milk to a gentle simmer in a large saucepan.
Add fish pieces and a bay leaf; poach for 5 minutes. Remove fish with a slotted spoon, reserving the liquid in the pot.
Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Sauté sliced leek for 5 minutes until soft.
Stir in flour for 2 minutes.
Gradually add the reserved fish poaching liquid, stir, and cook for 3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Turn off the heat, remove the bay leaf, then stir in the poached fish and chopped parsley; season with salt and pepper.
Transfer the fish mixture to an ovenproof dish and top with a thick layer of mashed potatoes.
Optionally sprinkle with grated cheese.
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes until the sauce bubbles beneath the potatoes, then serve immediately.
