Salmon and Potato Pie
Description
A family favorite, this French-Canadian salmon pie recipe has been passed down for many generations. It's a simple dish that can be served with a béchamel sauce.
Ingredients
•
2 (9 inch) unbaked pie crusts
•
6 potatoes, peeled
•
1 small onion, minced
•
1 clove garlic, minced
•
1 tablespoon butter
•
1 (6 ounce) can red salmon, undrained
•
1 teaspoon dried thyme
•
1 cup milk, or as needed
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan with one pie crust. Set second pie crust aside.
2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool, and chop.
3
In a medium saucepan, cook onions, garlic, and butter over medium heat until onions become transparent.
4
Add onion mixture, salmon, and thyme to cooked potatoes. Mash all together with milk, adding just enough to bring about a mashed potato consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Spread evenly into the bottom pie crust.
5
Place second pie crust over top of salmon mixture. Cut slits into top crust, then pinch edges of both crusts together. Bake on lower rack of oven for 45 minutes.
