Ingredients
- Cod fillets - 4 to 6, boneless or skinless

Instructions
Method:
First make your hot pie crust, recipe posted below! After half fill one saucepan and start to boil water on medium heat, add ½ tsp sea salt.
Then add codfish to water, only cook for 3 to 5 minutes just to part cook fish. Remove codfish from saucepan and place in a plate, let come to room temp.
Roll out pastry dough and place in a deep pan, I’m using a spring form pan. Line bottom of spring form pan with parchment paper, but if you are using a pie pan or cast iron pan, no need for parchment paper.
This just incase pan leaks during the baking time.
After peel and slice potatoes and place in cold water for a few minutes then drain, peel and slice onions.
Line the bottom of pie pan with potatoes, then add onions and season in between with salt, pepper and onion powder.
Then top with part cooked codfish pieces, and season with a pinch of salt, pepper and onion powder.
In a small bowl add eggs, flour, cream, and whisk together well; then add over codfish and veggies.
Top with shredded cheese; preheat oven to 400ºF and bake codfish and onion pie for 30 minutes, then lower to 350ºF and bake for another 15 to 30 minutes or until baked.
