Method

Set the oven to 200°C/400°C/Gas Mark 6.
Finely chop the leek and microwave it for 2 minutes on high. Put in an ovenproof dish with the salmon and prawns.
To make the sauce, pour the milk into a large jug and whisk in the flour, then add the butter. Microwave on High for 4 minutes, stir and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stir and cook for 3-4 minutes longer or until the sauce is thick and smooth. Stir in the lemon zest, parsley and seasoning and pour over the fish and mix in.
Thinly slice the potatoes (no need to peel) and cook them in boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain the potatoes and arrange the slices over the top of the fish. Brush over the butter.
Bake the pie in the centre of the oven for about 50 minutes, or until golden.
