Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams salmon fillets
- 500 grams frozen puff pastry
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 30 grams all-purpose flour
- 300 milliliters milk
- 150 grams broccoli florets
- 2 carrots
- 1 leeks
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 500 milliliters water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
In a medium saucepan, bring 500ml of water to a gentle simmer and poach the salmon fillets for 7-10 minutes until just cooked. Remove the salmon, let it cool, and flake it into chunks.
Chop the broccoli into small florets, slice the carrots into thin rounds, and finely slice the leek. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened. Set aside.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk, and cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the flaked salmon, sautéed vegetables, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. Mix well and let it cool slightly.
Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to fit your pie dish. Line the base and sides of the dish with half of the pastry, trimming any excess.
Spoon the salmon and vegetable mixture into the pie dish, spreading it evenly.
Roll out the remaining pastry and place it over the filling. Seal the edges by pressing them together and crimping with a fork. Cut a small slit in the center to allow steam to escape.
Beat the egg and brush it over the top of the pastry to achieve a golden finish.
Place the pie in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
Allow the pie to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious homemade Salmon and Vegetable Pie!
