Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups unbleached all purpose flour (plus extra for rolling)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2/3 cup butter or lard
6-7 tablespoons cold water
1 beaten egg
2 pounds russet potatoes (about 6 medium)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup water
1 pound salmon fillet (pin bones removed)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons unbleached all purpose flour
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon of dried dill)
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter or lard until mixture is an even crumbly texture. Add cold water a tablespoon at a time and mix until dough comes together.
  • Shape the dough into a disc, wrap, and chill in the refrigerator. While pastry is chilling, prepare filling.
  • Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut into chunks and boil in a medium size pot of water until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain, mash the potatoes, and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, and sauté until they are softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the 1/2-cup of water to the skillet.
  • Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper, and place it into the skillet skin side down.
  • Spoon liquid and onions over the salmon, cover the skillet, and cook until the salmon is opaque, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the salmon cool slightly.
  • Remove the skin and break the salmon into pieces. Add the salmon, onions, and poaching liquid to the mashed potatoes and mix to combine. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • On a lightly floured surface, divide dough in half and form two balls. Flatten one ball with your hands, and roll dough to about 12-inches in diameter, to fit a 9-inch pie pan.
  • Place the pastry into the pie plate and add the salmon pie filling. Gently pat the filling down to remove any air spaces.
  • Brush around the outer edge of the pastry with the beaten egg. Roll out the top pastry and place on top of the pie filling.
  • Fold the top crust under the bottom crust and pinch the edges. Brush with egg wash and cut vent holes.
  • Bake the salmon pie in a preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown. While the salmon pie is baking, make the dill béchamel sauce.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Gradually add milk stirring constantly. When sauce begins to thicken, add the lemon juice, dill, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 2 minutes. Keep warm until ready to serve.
  • Remove the pie from oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Cut into pie wedges, drizzle with the dill sauce if desired, and serve warm.
  • Yield: Makes 1 pie, about 8 servings.

EASY SALMON PIE



Easy Salmon Pie image

This is a super easy salmon pie. I usually buy red salmon but if your budget is tight, use pink. We all need to eat more fish and this is a great way to get in those healthy omega 3's. We eat it plain with a vegetable or creamed peas and salad but feel free to serve it with a lemon sauce or butter sauce if desired. I sometimes add a pinch of dillweed for a change of pace.

EASY SALMON PIE



Easy Salmon Pie image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 (6-ounce) center cut salmon fillets, skin removed
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1 medium Vidalia onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chopped shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
4 cups washed, dried, and loosely packed fresh baby spinach
1/4 cup sour cream
2 frozen puff pastry sheets, defrosted
Chopped fresh parsley leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Brush both sides of the salmon with 1 teaspoon lemon juice and sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
  • Warm 2 tablespoons oil in 2 separate skillets over medium-high heat. Add half of the onion and half the garlic to each pan. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and thyme into 1 pan and the spinach, lemon zest and remain lemon juice in the other pan. Stir the spinach until it wilts, then transfer it to a bowl and set aside. Saute the mushrooms until they are reduced and tender, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the sour cream. Set aside.
  • Trim the thinner ends of the salmon fillet so you have 4 pieces of even thickness. Unroll a pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Pass a rolling pin lightly over 2 or 3 times to seal the seams and lengthen slightly. Cut the pastry sheet into 3 equal strips, using the natural seams as a guide. Roll out the second puff pastry sheet to get 1 more strip. Save remaining puff pastry for another use. Lightly prick the 4 strips with a fork. Put 1 heaping spoonful of mushroom mixture on 1 half of each pastry, top with salmon, then layer with a heaping spoonful of spinach mixture. Wet the edges of the pastry with water and fold over the other half, pressing lightly and folding to seal the edges. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling. Cut 2 vents on the top of each pastry packet and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake until the pastry is golden and fish is just opaque in the center, about 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the pies from the oven to serving dishes and garnish with chopped parsley.

SALMON PIE

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 (8-ounce) salmon fillets
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
3 cups court bouillon
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onions
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
2 cups mashed potatoes
1 egg
1/2 cup heavy cream
Basic Savory Pie Crust, recipe follows
Flour, for dusting
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups cold lard or solid vegetable shortening
4 to 5 tablespoons ice water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Season the salmon with salt and white pepper. In a saute pan, add the court bouillon and bring to a simmer. Add the salmon and poach for 6 to 8 minutes. Allow the salmon to cool in the water until tepid. Remove the salmon from the pan and discard the liquid. Flake the salmon into a mixing bowl.
  • In another saute pan, heat the oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions. Season the onions with salt and white pepper. Saute for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the garlic and dill. Add the sauteed mixture to the salmon. Mix thoroughly. Add the potatoes, egg, and cream. Mix well. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
  • Cut the pie dough into 2 halves. Lightly dust the surface with flour. Roll out each half of dough to 12-inches in diameter and about 1/8-inch thick. Fold 1 circle of dough into fourths. Carefully lift the dough and place in a 10-inch deep-dish pie pan. Unfold the pie dough and spoon the salmon mixture into the pie shell. Place the second round of dough over the salmon mixture. Using a sharp knife, cut away the excess dough. Using your fingers, crimp the edges of the pie firmly to seal the dough completely. Bake the pie for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Combine the flour and salt in a bowl. Add the lard and work it in with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, working it in with your hands. Add only as much as you need to make a smooth ball of dough. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.
