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.

8. 8

   Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
