[QUOTE=Gezzabell;1767521]Fish Pie - 10.5 points  (these are the exact ingredients and amounts i used, obviously it needs adapting depending on how many you make it for!)

400g potato
1 medium swede
100g low fat soft cheese with garlic & herbs
350g cod fillet (cut into large pieces)
2 tbspns cornflower mixed with cold water
broccoli
150ml veg stock

1)    Boil a pan of water and add the potato and swede cut into chunks, simmer for 20 mins until tender
(I added broccoli so cooked that at the same time)
2)    Add the soft cheese and veg stock to a saucepan, stir until well blended together and add the cornflour paste.
3)    When the sauce is thick add the fish, i added the broccoli too
4)    Pour the sauce into a shallow baking dish
5)    Drain the potato and swede, add pepper, mash well
6)    Arrange the mash over the fish and put in the oven until piping hot.  Put under the grill to brown the top.

I served with baby baton carrots, and it was gorgeous.
