Salmon and Brie Pie image

Russ and I bought individual ones of these in Tasmania. This is my attempt to recreate them (and I think I got them better than right). I made 1 pie in an 8 inch pie dish using pre rolled sheets of short crust (which is how we get it in Australia).

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 sheets shortcrust pastry
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons lemon juice
200 g brie cheese, cut into small wedges
300 g smoked salmon (I used chunky off-cuts)
2 green onions, green ends only, finely sliced
1/2 teaspoon dill leaves
fresh ground black pepper
milk, to glaze

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200c.
  • Lay 1 sheet of pastry in pie dish, prick with a fork, cover with baking paper and then pour over a layer of dried beans, rice or lentils and bake in the oven for about 12 minutes. Remove, remove the foil and filling (and discard or save for your next pie.).
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter, add the diced onion and cook until softened but not coloured. Add the flour and cook, stirring for about a minute. Add the milk and whisk until smooth and thickened.
  • Remove from the heat and add in the lemon juice, salmon, brie, green onion, dill leaves and pepper (I tasted here and found it didn't need any salt).
  • Brush a little milk around the edge of the pastry bottom, pop on the top and trim to fit your pie dish. Brush more milk across the top. Prick a few holes in the top pastry to allow steam to escape.
  • Cook for 10 minutes at 200c then reduce the oven temp to 180c and cook a further 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • We ate ours served with a leafy grean salad dressed with lemon infused olive oil and white wine vinegar.
