Weekend Cookbook: Creamy Salmon Pies

Our family loves to eat salmon. We enjoy it as it is a really easy fish to eat, and there are so many different ways you can cook it. We buy a massive slab of it from Costco and freeze it in meal sized portions so that we can eat it around once a week.

The recipe that I have for you today is a family favourite. We found it in a cooking magazine and have loved it ever since. My hubby particularly loves the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese combination.


Creamy Salmon Pies
Serves 4



Olive oil spray
½ cup fresh breadcrumbs
1/3 cup finely grated parmesan
20g butter
1 tbls olive oil
1 leek, thinly sliced
2 tbls plain flour
½ cups of chicken stock
1/3 cup thickened cream
1 tsp dried tarragon leaves
500g skinless salmon fillets, cut into small pieces

1.      Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Spray four ramekins with the olive oil spray to grease. Combine the breadcrumbs and the parmesan cheese.
2.      Heat butter and oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add leek and cook, stirring for 3 minutes or until leek softens slightly. Add flour and cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Add the stock, whisking until combined. Cook stirring for 5 minutes or until the mixture comes to the boil. Add cream and tarragon and cook stirring for 2 minutes or until the mixture thickens.



3.      Add the salmon and cook, stirring for 2 minutes or until salmon is cooked through. Spoon into the prepared dishes. Sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until golden.
4.      Serve with mash potato and steamed green vegetables.
