Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large leeks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 1/4 pounds skinless boneless salmon fillet
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill leaves
1 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water
a 17 1/4-ounce package frozen puff pastry sheets (thawed according to package instructions)
Accompaniment:
Sour-Cream Chile Sauce

Steps:

  • Cut white and pale-green parts of leeks crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. In a bowl of cold water wash leeks well and lift from water into a colander to drain. Pat leeks dry. In a large skillet cook leeks in butter over moderate heat, stirring, until tender, about 12 minutes, and cool. Cut salmon into roughly 3/4-inch pieces and in a bowl toss with leeks, dill, zest, salt, and pepper until combined well.
  • In a small bowl whisk together egg and water to make an egg wash. On a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin roll 1 puff pastry sheet into a 10-inch square and the other into a 12-inch square. Transfer 10-inch pastry square to a floured large baking sheet and mound salmon filling in center, forming a round 8 inches in diameter. Brush edges of pastry evenly with some egg wash. Carefully drape remaining pastry square over salmon and gently press edges together to seal. With a sharp knife trim edges of pastry to form a 10-inch round. Crimp edges and cut 4 steam vents on top of crust. Brush crust evenly with some remaining egg wash. Chill pie, loosely covered, at least 1 hour and up to 3.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Bake pie in middle of oven until pastry is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
  • Serve pie warm or at room temperature with sauce.

I had a hard time finding leeks at my local grocery store.

This pie was a bit too fishy for my taste.

I found the crust to be a bit too thick. Next time I'll try using a store-bought crust.

The only thing I would change is to add a bit more seasoning to the filling.

I'm not a big fan of fish, but I loved this pie! The salmon was cooked perfectly and the leeks added a nice subtle flavor.

This salmon and leek pie was a hit with my family! The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the crust was flaky and golden brown.
