But it's really easy, basically -

Salmon fillets (cut into largish chunks) and any kind of prawns you want in a shallow(ish) oven dish.

Make a basic cheese sauce (I like it with a really mature cheddar with plenty of cracked black pepper) and pour over the fish.

Part cook some potatoes and then slice them and arrange over the fish/sauce.

Sprinkle with grated cheese and dill.

Bake in oven at 200 for around 35-40 minutes.

Salmon and prawns should be perfect and potatoes nice and crisp on top.

Although, Al, please note - the Lochmuir Salmon and Prawn Bake from Marks & Spencer is almost identical to my recipe. I get this sometimes when I can't be bothered to cook and it tastes just like mine. And can't go wrong with this one - especially if you have guests, I swear they'd never know it wasn't homemade!

Ahhh ok, so it seems kind of like a fish pie? I can do that no bother! Sounds lovely!

That kinda cooking is always good. When I feel like that I make soup or toad in the hole.
