Smoked Salmon Dill And Potato Pie Recipes

SMOKED SALMON, DILL AND POTATO PIE

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and slice thinly, cutting lengthways.
• The quickest way to do this is with a mandoline- a blade set in a wood or steel frame- or with the slicer attachment of your food processor.
• Rinse the potatoes and shake dry.
• Place the crème fraîche or cream in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, big enough for both the potatoes and the cream.
• Gently melt the cream.
• Stir in the spring onions and season with half a teaspoon of salt and a generous grating of pepper.
• Add the potatoes and stir them around thoroughly so all the slices are coated with cream.
• Cover the pan and cook, stirring occasionally and checking that the bottom slices aren't sticking and burning, for 15 minutes.
• Remove the lid.
• The potatoes will now be almost cooked and there will be far more sauce.
• Give everything a good stir and remove from the heat.
• Preheat the oven to 360F or 180 degrees C.
• Smear a 1.
• 5 to two-litre capacity gratin dish with the butter.
• Whisk the egg yolks with the milk.
• Chop the dill.
• Add one third of the potato mixture to the buttered dish and smooth it out.
• Scatter half the dill over the potatoes, season again with salt and pepper and then cover with half the smoked salmon.
• Dribble over half the egg mixture.
• Make another layer exactly the same and then finish the pie with potato, arranging the top so the surface is smooth.
• Place the dish in the oven and cook for 25 minutes until the top is patched with brown and the pie is cooked through, the potato and salmon held in a creamy, dill custard.

FISH PIES WITH SMOKED SALMON, PRAWNS & DILL

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in salted water for 20 mins until tender. Drain, then mash with the green from the onion, the butter, milk and plenty of seasoning until smooth and lump-free.
• Pour the milk into a pan and add the butter and flour. Cook over a medium heat, whisking until the sauce is bubbling and thickened. Stir in the white parts of the onion, then bubble again for a min. Cool for about 5 mins, stirring frequently, then add the egg yolks, dill and smoked salmon. Season to taste.
• Divide the pollock between 8 x 300ml pie dishes or ramekins. Scatter over the prawns, stir then spoon over the smoked salmon sauce. Top each pie with mash, then cover and chill until ready to cook. They will keep in the fridge overnight.
• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Put the pies on baking sheets, then bake for 30 mins until bubbling and starting to turn golden. Serve with the broccoli (below).

FINNISH SALMON AND DILL PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a small skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add green onions; cook and stir until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Gently stir in salmon and dill; set aside., On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Spoon salmon mixture into crust. In a small bowl, whisk eggs, cream, flour and seasonings until blended; pour over top. Sprinkle with cheese., Bake on a lower oven rack until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, 35-40 minutes. Cover edge loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes if needed to prevent overbrowning. Remove foil. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

GRATIN OF FRESH & SMOKED SALMON, BEETROOT, POTATOES & DILL

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, cut the salmon into slices about ½cm thick (if there's skin on your salmon, leave it behind as you cut each slice). Tear the smoked salmon into pieces.
• Cut the potatoes into wafer thin slices as if you were making Dauphinoise potatoes. It's best (and certainly quickest) to do this with a mandoline.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and put in a baking sheet to heat up. Mix the creams and the milk in a large saucepan, and bring to just under the boil. Add the potatoes and cook gently for 5 mins, carefully turning the potatoes over from time to time. Cut the beets into slices about 2mm thick.
• Season the potatoes and cream and butter a 22 x 30cm baking dish. Spoon half of the potatoes into the dish and spread them out. Put half the beetroot on top of that, then half the fish. Season and add half the dill. Now add the rest of the beetroot and fish, seasoning again and adding the dill. Spoon the rest of the potatoes on top. You don't need to arrange the top layer of potatoes nicely unless you really want to.
• Bake for 1 hr, or until the potatoes are completely tender and the top is bubbling (it may need an additional 10 mins). Serve with a green salad or, if you want something more comforting, warm cabbage.

SMOKED SALMON AND DILL TART

Steps:

• Line a non-stick or greased and floured 20 x 4 cm deep tart tin (preferrably a springform pan).
• Cover with foil or greaseproof paper, fill with pie weights or rice and bake for 10 minutes at 400 F or 200 C.
• Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, beat of whisk the two egg yolks, the whole eggs and the cream until smooth.
• Strip the dill from its stalk, chop coarsely and add to the mixture, along with some freshly ground black pepper.
• Arrange the smoked salmon in the pastry shell.
• Pour over the egg and bake for 10 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to 325 F or 170 C and cook for another 25 minutes or until just set.
• Allow to rest for at least five minutes before removing the sides from the pan and serving warm or cold.

POTATO AND SMOKED SALMON PANCAKES WITH CREAMY DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• In large bowl, beat egg, 1/2 cup milk and 2 tablespoons of the yogurt. Stir in flour to make a thin batter.
• Shred potatoes and onion into batter. Stir in salmon.
• In 10- to 12-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Using 1/4-cup measuring cup, scoop batter into skillet to make each pancake. Gently press down on top of each pancake with pancake turner to flatten. Cook 2 minutes on each side or until pancakes are golden brown and crispy. Add remaining tablespoon oil as needed.
• To make sauce, stir together remaining yogurt, 1 tablespoon milk and the dill. Season to taste with black pepper. Serve sauce with pancakes.
