In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and sauté leeks until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add chopped carrots and peas to the skillet, cooking for another 5 minutes.

Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

Gradually add milk, stirring until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.

Add fish, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the mixture; combine well.

Transfer the fish mixture into a baking dish and spread evenly.

Top with the sweet potato mash, smoothing it out with a spatula.

Sprinkle grated cheese over the top if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden and bubbling.

Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
