Ingredients

  • 12 ounces Vital Choice skinless-boneless salmon (two 6-ounce sockeye portions), thawed and diced into 1/4 inch pieces OR two 6.35 ounce cans of wild sockeye salmon, chunked
  • 1 premade round puff pastry or pie crust (9 inch pie size)
  • 3 shallots, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 ounces (about 1 cup) shredded cheese—Gruyère, Emmental or Swiss
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups crème fraîche
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon organic coarse ground pepper
  • Dash of organic cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Fit a pre-made pie crust or puff pastry into a 9 inch pie pan. Pierce the bottom with the tines of a fork about 15 times. Place the pan in the freezer and chill for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 F.
  3. After chilling, pre-bake the crust for 12 minutes at 400 F. Remove from oven and cool for at least 10 minutes before filling.
  4. Melt the butter in a medium sized skillet on low-medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid browning. Add the salmon and heat just until the (fresh) salmon is barely cooked through. If you use canned salmon, it only needs to heat through.
  5. Remove salmon mixture from heat and spread the filling in the cooled crust. Sprinkle evenly with shredded cheese.
  6. Reduce oven temperature to 375 F. Whisk the eggs, crème fraîche, salt, pepper and cayenne together until combined. Pour over the other ingredients in the pie dish and bake for 40 minutes at 375 F.
