Cauliflower Fish Bake

This Fish Bake is very similar to a Fish Pie although its sooooo much better for you, the cauliflower replaces the old style white sauce and tastes so much better, there is no cream, butter or cheese in this recipe and the crusty top is fantastic,you will not even miss the cheese and I guarantee once you try it, this will be on your family's "go to" list for sure :)
