- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided

Instructions
- Make Mashed Potatoes: Boil potatoes until tender. Drain well and mash with butter, milk, and salt until creamy. Set aside.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Sauté Vegetables: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté green onions, carrots, and garlic until softened. Sprinkle with flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Make Sauce: Gradually whisk in milk until smooth and thickened. Stir in 1 cup of cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, and dill until cheese is melted.
- Add Fish and Peas: Gently stir in fish and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add frozen peas and season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble Pie: Pour filling into a 9×13 inch baking dish. Top with mashed potatoes, spreading evenly and creating a textured surface with a fork. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Bake: Place the dish on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh dill or parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Potatoes: Drain potatoes well to prevent a watery filling.
- Fish: Use fresh, high-quality fish. Frozen fish can be a good option if fresh is not available.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
