作り方

Prepare the fish: rinse the fish, remove bones, cut into pieces about 4 cm; peel the potatoes² and carrots⁵, cut potatoes into 4 cm cubes, carrots into rounds 1 cm thick; rinse all vegetables under running water; prepare a pot for boiling the potatoes and a steamer basket for the fish, bring the water to a boil and reduce the heat to medium.
Boil potatoes² and carrots⁵: place the chopped potatoes and carrots in a large pot, add enough water to cover the vegetables by 2 cm, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over medium heat about 20 minutes until tender when tested with a fork, drain in a colander.
Steam the fish: water in the steamer or in a pot with a rack, bring to a boil, lay the pieces of fish, cover and cook over medium heat for 12 minutes, until the fish is cooked; it will flake easily when pressed with a fork.
Mash the vegetables: mash cooled potatoes² into puree, gradually stir in milk³ and melted butter⁴, salt to taste and beat until smooth, the mash should be fluffy and not thick.
Combine and serve: cut the fish into small pieces and gently fold into the mashed potatoes² or place on top of a serving of mash on the plate, serve with greens if desired; you can drizzle with a little olive oil.
Serving: serve immediately after cooking; you can accompany with green peas or dill; store leftovers no more than 1 day in the refrigerator, reheat over moderate heat, stirring; if needed, replace milk³ with baby milk or water.

コツ

なぜこうするのか: Cut potatoes into 4 cm cubes so they cook evenly and don’t turn mushy or stay hard in the center. Smaller pieces overcook faster; larger ones undercook inside.
代用できる材料: Replace milk with 40 ml of water if you’re out, but the mash will be less creamy. Skip carrots if you dislike their texture; use extra 10 g potatoes instead.
よくある失敗: Overcooked fish smells fishy and falls apart at the touch. Check by flaking it with a fork—it should separate cleanly, not crumble into a paste.
保存と温め直し: Eat fresh or store for 1 day in the fridge. Reheat gently in a pan with 10 ml water, stirring until warm. Freezing ruins the texture.
合わせるもの: Pair with steamed green peas and a sprinkle of dill for a simple weeknight dinner. Serve in small portions for kids with a side of cucumber sticks.
