For our salmon pie recipe, you will want to melt your butter in a skillet, preferably non-stick, over a low flame. Add in your onions and sauté for 7 minutes or until they are gently tender. Add in your cabbage, vinegar, and mushrooms and then turn the heat from low to medium. Cover the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes. Uncover, toss, and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Season with salt or pepper according to your taste and remove from the flame.
Set these aside in another dish to use in your seafood pie later. Wipe, don’t wash the skillet and then add some olive oil before putting the pot on a medium flame. Add in your salmon and season with pepper and salt according to your desired taste. Cook on each side for 5 minutes, plate and let cool. Then, like most seafood pie recipes, flake the fish into chunks and put it aside for later.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to the size that will fit a deep-dish pie pan of 9 inches. Place in the pie plate with a small amount of dough flowing over the edge. The bottom of the pastry should have your brown rice, followed by a chopped boiled egg. Then, add your flakes salmon, cheese, and bread crumbs. Your veggies go on the top, followed by parsley and cream. Though the rest of your dish has a generous number of calories, salmon fillet calories themselves are very low in number.
Take the rest of your rolled puff pastry and use it to cover your pie. Use a bit of water to rim your pastry sheet before adding another layer on top. Use a sharp knife to remove the excess and then crimp the edges together. Using the same knife, cut a few steam slits along the top of the pie. Generously coat the top with the beaten egg, and then bake for 35- 40 minutes until the Russian salmon pie is golden brown.
This delicious pie is enough for six people, and no sides are needed. It will pair very well with a glass of red wine or sparkling cider.
