Method

Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Put the roast potatoes on a baking tray and roast for 25-30 mins until golden and crisp, turning halfway through.
Meanwhile, make the fish pie filling. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and fry the leeks for 6-8 mins until soft and most of the water has evaporated. Sprinkle over the flour, season, stir, then cook for 1 min. Add the stock a little at a time, stirring constantly, then stir in the crème fraîche. Simmer for 5 mins until thickened and saucy, then remove from the heat.
When the potatoes are cooked, reheat the sauce if needed, then gently fold in the salmon, mackerel and lemon zest, trying not to break up the fish too much. Spoon into a baking dish about 20 x 15cm.
Halve the roast potatoes through the widest part (use tongs to help as they will be hot) and press down lightly with a spatula to squash them slightly. Arrange, cut-side down, over the fish pie mix, overlapping them slightly so the pie is covered with the crisp edges. Return to the oven and bake for 10-15 mins until the filling is bubbling and the topping is crisp.
Cook the broccoli in simmering water for 5-6 mins until tender; drain well. Serve alongside the fish pie.

Freezing and defrosting guidelines

Once baked and cooled, wrap the dish in foil and freeze. Thaw in the fridge overnight, then bake, covered with foil, for 25 mins until golden and piping hot throughout. In order to enjoy optimum flavour and quality, frozen items are best used within 3 months of their freezing date. For more tips on freezing and defrosting food, read our article Love Your Freezer.
