I’ve always loved when my mother made salmon pie (pâté au saumon). Her recipe was very simple. She used a can of red salmon, kept the juice to mash the potatoes, added a roasted onion and that was it. All of this in a pie crust and topped with another one. Sometimes she added cooked diced carrots, but I didn’t like it so much.
She was visiting us for the weekend and I told her I wanted to do a salmon pie. I’ve never made one. Here is the one I made : Rustic Salmon Pie.
The recipe didn’t say to keep or drain the salmon liquid. I kept it and added it to my potatoes. And I used a bit more of mashed potatoes. I roasted a small onion and green onions and added this to the mixture.
The pastry crust is really easy to do with the food processor. In the filling since I used the liquid of the salmon, I used just a little bit of 2% fat milk. I kept the bones and skins from the salmon. It adds calcium to the recipe.
I’ve never heard of salmon pie–but that looks SO good!!
My mother always made salmon pie. It’s yummy. It can be serve with an egg sauce or bechamel. But I prefer mine with butter. I know it’s not healthy but the taste is great LOL Welcome here
