1/2 lb firm white fish (like cod), cut into 1-inch chunks
1 cup frozen corn
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1 large egg, beaten with 1 tsp water
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
Slowly whisk in the seafood stock until smooth. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the heavy cream and Creole seasoning. Let the sauce thicken for a couple of minutes.
Reduce heat to low. Gently stir in the shrimp, fish, and frozen corn. Cook for 2-3 minutes, just until the shrimp begin to turn pink. Remove from heat and stir in the parsley and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the filling into a 9-inch pie plate or similar-sized casserole dish.
Lay the puff pastry over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges if desired. Brush the top with the egg wash and cut a few slits in the center for steam to escape.
Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Let the pot pie rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Make sure your puff pastry is thawed but still cold when you place it on top of the filling. This helps it get the best possible puff in the oven.
