Salmon Pie

Growing up in the Gaspé, near 

the Baie des Chaleur,  fish and 

seafood were regularly served.

My Mom made "fish hash"  from

Codfish and other fish, often to

  feed our large family. We ate

 a lot of Herring,  in every form,

 smoked, salted and freshly fried.

This recipe, salmon mixed with

potatoes was one of my favourites. 

 

Salmon is an excellent source of high 

quality protein, vitamins and minerals. 

High in omega-3 fatty acids.

This salmon pie is easy to make

with few ingredients and a pie
  crust on top. I used 2 cans of

  salmon (213g each) for this recipe.

I prefer (Red Pacific Wild Salmon)

Pink Atlantic Salmon may be used also.

Ingredients:

 2 cups/ 2 cans of salmon

 with skin and bones removed.

About 6 potatoes

2 celery stocks chopped

1 onion chopped

1 garlic clove chopped
Pepper, parsley, dill

 and savory.

Instructions:

Boil and mash potatoes

Sante onions, celery and garlic

Add to onion mixture to salmon

along with pepper, parsley, dill and savory.

(Or your favourite herb)

 

Grease a 9 inch pie plate

Press 1/2 of the potatoes in the bottom

Place the salmon on top of the potatoes

Add the remaining potatoes on top of the salmon

Roll out dough to cover pie.

Place dough on top of pie

Bake 400 degrees F 25-30 minutes.

Enjoy
