Cod Pie

60 minutes
Cod pie is a classic dish of British cuisine that combines the tenderness of white fish with the rich flavor of salmon. Its roots trace back to traditional fish pies that have been made in coastal regions of Britain for centuries. Baked in a crispy filo pastry, the cod fillet complemented by sweet peppers and a hint of olive spiciness creates a harmonious balance of textures and aromas. Tomatoes in sauce add freshness and a slight tang that enhances the fish's flavor. This pie is served hot and is perfect for both cozy dinners and festive tables. The delicate fish filling sealed in a thin crispy crust makes it not only elegant but also easy to prepare. Its secret to success lies in simplicity and sophistication, making it a true gem of British cuisine.
