Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams salmon fillet
- 500 grams puff pastry
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 pieces shallot
- 2 pieces garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 250 milliliters milk
- 2 tablespoons chopped dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 piece egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Place the salmon fillet in a baking dish, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and bake for 12-15 minutes until it is fully cooked. Let the salmon cool, then flake it apart into small pieces and set aside.
Finely chop the shallots and mince the garlic cloves. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until they are soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the shallot mixture and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring the mixture stays smooth. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened into a creamy sauce.
Stir in the chopped dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper into the sauce. Remove the saucepan from the heat and gently fold in the flaked salmon. Let the mixture cool slightly.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry. Cut out two circles or rectangles large enough to line a pie dish and create a top crust.
Line your pie dish with one piece of the puff pastry. Pour the salmon mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.
Cover the filling with the second piece of puff pastry, pressing the edges together to seal. Trim any excess pastry and crimp the edges if desired.
Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the top of the pie with the egg wash, and use a fork or small knife to poke a few vent holes in the top.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.
Let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious Pacific Salmon Pie!
