Salmon And Brie Pie Recipes

FRENCH-CANADIAN SALMON PIE

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.

SALMON AND BRIE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200c.
• Lay 1 sheet of pastry in pie dish, prick with a fork, cover with baking paper and then pour over a layer of dried beans, rice or lentils and bake in the oven for about 12 minutes. Remove, remove the foil and filling (and discard or save for your next pie.).
• Meanwhile, melt the butter, add the diced onion and cook until softened but not coloured. Add the flour and cook, stirring for about a minute. Add the milk and whisk until smooth and thickened.
• Remove from the heat and add in the lemon juice, salmon, brie, green onion, dill leaves and pepper (I tasted here and found it didn't need any salt).
• Brush a little milk around the edge of the pastry bottom, pop on the top and trim to fit your pie dish. Brush more milk across the top. Prick a few holes in the top pastry to allow steam to escape.
• Cook for 10 minutes at 200c then reduce the oven temp to 180c and cook a further 20 minutes or until golden brown.
• We ate ours served with a leafy grean salad dressed with lemon infused olive oil and white wine vinegar.

• Prepare the dough and preheat the oven as directed in the basic recipe. Shape the pizza dough.
• Divide the dough and roll into small pies, about 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Prick dough all over with the tines of a fork, then brush with olive oil.
• Transfer the pie to the preheated baking surface and bake until the crust just begins to brown, about 6 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and cover with the cheese, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edges.
• Arrange the salmon and onion on top and drizzle evenly with olive oil.
• Return to the oven and bake until the crust is golden brown and puffy, the cheese begins to melt and the salmon is heated through, about 4 minutes.
