Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 ½ pounds mahi mahi
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium russet potato, peeled and cubed
- 3 stalks celery, halved lengthwise and sliced
- 1 large carrot, diced
- 2 medium leeks, halved lengthwise and sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ medium lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- ⅛ cup chopped fresh chives
- 1 medium egg, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Cut pastry into 6 rectangles and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven; leave the oven on.
- Meanwhile, cut mahi mahi into 1 inch pieces. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add potato, celery, and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 8 minutes. Add leeks and let soften, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add butter.
- When butter has melted, add flour and whisk for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk and water, then add 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until mixture thickens slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Whisk in sour cream, lemon juice, and Dijon. Add fish and cook over low heat until fish flakes easily with a fork, 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in parsley and chives and remove from the heat.
- Transfer fish mixture to a 2-quart pastry dish. Place pastry rectangles on top, and brush each one with beaten egg.
- Return to the oven and bake until pastry is puffed and golden brown and filling is bubbly, about 10 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
- You can use cod or opah belly in place of mahi mahi.
