Directions
Rustic Salmon Pie, Delicious and easy, great for a special occasion or even a week day dinner The pastry on this is lushious! used frozen butter and grated it, made it sooo flaky and delicious!! I think one could use almost any filling, used pink salmon, probably the sockeye would have looked prettier I’m sure a meat/chicken filling would work beautifully too (from one of those little bakefest books, pullout from a magazine ), Sooooo tasty! And the flavors were even better the next day: best leftovers ever! used fresh salmon (canned salmon is a travesty!) and this was a beautiful, hearty dish I do think it could be jazzed up a bit; I made a cream of mushroom soup as an accompaniment, and the pie tasted even better with a few spoonfuls of soup drizzled over it like gravy, and more cheese added on top Next time I make this, I’ll add lots of mushrooms; a few vegetables might be nice too One point with the recipe: it said to chill the pastry dough I did so and the result was hard and dry and very difficult to work with, although it tasted very good in the end , My first time doing a salmon pie The pastry is very easy to do and has a great taste For the filling, I kept the liquid of salmon and used less milk I added more mashed potatoes (maybe 1 more cup) Instead of swiss cheese, used reduced cheddar used the green onion I roasted a small onion and more green onion and added that to the mixture It is so good A great recipe I’ll do again for sure Thanks Derf 😀 Made for Cookbook tag
