Fish And Fennel Pie

White fish and fennel is a classic combination of flavours that carries hints of aromatic and sweet tones.

A teaspoon of Dashi powder is the secret ingredient that lifts this rich looking but healthy Fish and Fennel Pie into the stratosphere. I’ve used a vegetable stock reduction rather than cream to keep the fat content and calories low without compromising the taste.
