Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Add water gradually and mix until the dough comes together. If needed, add a little more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough is pliable and can be formed into a ball.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch pie plate.
- Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to the pie plate, gently pressing it into the bottom and up the sides.
- Trim any excess dough and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sour cream until smooth.
- Gently stir in the cooked and flaked salmon, remaining cheddar cheese, and chopped chives. Mix well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the salmon mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the filling is set, and the top is golden brown. To test doneness, insert a knife into the center of the pie; it should come out clean.
- While the pie is baking, prepare the arugula salad. In a large bowl, toss the arugula with olive oil until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the pie is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Cut into wedges and serve warm alongside the fresh arugula salad.
Tips:
- Ensure that the salmon is fresh and free of any bones to guarantee the best texture and flavor.
- When mixing the dough, be careful not to overwork it; this helps to keep the crust light and flaky.
- Use a food processor to quickly grate the cheddar cheese and chop the arugula and chives.
- To save time, the salmon can be pre-cooked or smoked salmon can be used as an alternative.
- Let the pie rest for a few minutes after baking to ensure that it sets properly; this makes it easier to cut and serve.
- Garnish with some extra fresh chives and a sprinkle of grated cheese just before serving for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
