Smoked Salmon Dill And Potato Pie Recipes

FINNISH SALMON AND DILL PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a small skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add green onions; cook and stir until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Gently stir in salmon and dill; set aside., On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Spoon salmon mixture into crust. In a small bowl, whisk eggs, cream, flour and seasonings until blended; pour over top.

Cover edge loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes if needed to prevent overbrowning. Remove foil. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

SMOKED SALMON, DILL AND POTATO PIE

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and slice thinly, cutting lengthways.
• The quickest way to do this is with a mandoline- a blade set in a wood or steel frame- or with the slicer attachment of your food processor.
• Rinse the potatoes and shake dry.
• Place the crème fraîche or cream in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, big enough for both the potatoes and the cream.
• Gently melt the cream.
• Stir in the spring onions and season with half a teaspoon of salt and a generous grating of pepper.
• Add the potatoes and stir them around thoroughly so all the slices are coated with cream.
• Cover the pan and cook, stirring occasionally and checking that the bottom slices aren't sticking and burning, for 15 minutes.
• Remove the lid.
• The potatoes will now be almost cooked and there will be far more sauce.
• Give everything a good stir and remove from the heat.
• Preheat the oven to 360F or 180 degrees C.
• Smear a 1.
• 5 to two-litre capacity gratin dish with the butter.
• Whisk the egg yolks with the milk.
• Chop the dill.
• Add one third of the potato mixture to the buttered dish and smooth it out.
• Scatter half the dill over the potatoes, season again with salt and pepper and then cover with half the smoked salmon.
• Dribble over half the egg mixture.
• Make another layer exactly the same and then finish the pie with potato, arranging the top so the surface is smooth.
• Place the dish in the oven and cook for 25 minutes until the top is patched with brown and the pie is cooked through, the potato and salmon held in a creamy, dill custard.

FISH PIES WITH SMOKED SALMON, PRAWNS & DILL

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in salted water for 20 mins until tender. Drain, then mash with the green from the onion, the butter, milk and plenty of seasoning until smooth and lump-free.
• Pour the milk into a pan and add the butter and flour. Cook over a medium heat, whisking until the sauce is bubbling and thickened. Stir in the white parts of the onion, then bubble again for a min. Cool for about 5 mins, stirring frequently, then add the egg yolks, dill and smoked salmon. Season to taste.
• Divide the pollock between 8 x 300ml pie dishes or ramekins. Scatter over the prawns, stir then spoon over the smoked salmon sauce. Top each pie with mash, then cover and chill until ready to cook. They will keep in the fridge overnight.
• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Put the pies on baking sheets, then bake for 30 mins until bubbling and starting to turn golden. Serve with the broccoli (below).

GRATIN OF FRESH & SMOKED SALMON, BEETROOT, POTATOES & DILL

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, cut the salmon into slices about ½cm thick (if there's skin on your salmon, leave it behind as you cut each slice). Tear the smoked salmon into pieces.
• Cut the potatoes into wafer thin slices as if you were making Dauphinoise potatoes. It's best (and certainly quickest) to do this with a mandoline.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and put in a baking sheet to heat up. Mix the creams and the milk in a large saucepan, and bring to just under the boil. Add the potatoes and cook gently for 5 mins, carefully turning the potatoes over from time to time. Cut the beets into slices about 2mm thick.
• Season the potatoes and cream and butter a 22 x 30cm baking dish. Spoon half of the potatoes into the dish and spread them out. Put half the beetroot on top of that, then half the fish. Season and add half the dill. Now add the rest of the beetroot and fish, seasoning again and adding the dill. Spoon the rest of the potatoes on top. You don't need to arrange the top layer of potatoes nicely unless you really want to.
• Bake for 1 hr, or until the potatoes are completely tender and the top is bubbling (it may need an additional 10 mins). Serve with a green salad or, if you want something more comforting, warm cabbage.
