Individual salmon pies FAQ:
Bake the individual salmon pies in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes. They are done when the tops are golden and the filling is bubbling.
The salmon should be just beginning to flake when folded into the vegetable mixture, indicating it is cooked through. It will continue cooking slightly during the baking process.
Yes, you can substitute the salmon with other types of fish, such as trout or haddock. Ensure the fish is cooked through to safe standards, which is 145°F (63°C) for fish.
Store leftover individual salmon pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for later use; just ensure they are tightly sealed to prevent freezer burn.
Use individual pie dishes or ramekins that hold about 1 to 1.5 cups of filling. This ensures even cooking and allows for proper portion sizes.
