Ingredients

  • 1 pound sturgeon fillets
  • 1 cup diced potatoes
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 1 egg, beaten

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, celery, and carrots; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in potatoes, peas, and chicken broth; simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine flour with seasonings: salt, black pepper, thyme, rosemary, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix into the vegetable mixture.

  5. 5

    Add sturgeon fillets to the skillet, cooking each side for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from heat and stir in Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and hot sauce.

  6. 6

    Transfer mixture to a 9-inch pie dish. Roll out the puff pastry sheet slightly larger than the pie dish. Place over filling, tucking edges under. Brush with beaten egg.

  7. 7

    Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown.

  8. 8

    Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

Chef's tip

Ensure the puff pastry is chilled before placing it on top of the pie to achieve the perfect flaky texture.
