The creamy leek and potato filling paired with the tender salmon makes for a comforting meal that can be prepared with ease. Let's dive into the step-by-step process to create this amazing pie.

Ingredients:

4 potatoes
800g
1/3 cup butter
70g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g
2 leeks
360g
1/3 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
40g
1.50 cups milk (1% fat)
360g
1.50 lb salmon
680g
1 tsp black pepper
2g
1/3 cup cheddar cheese
33g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven & Prepare Potatoes:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel and chop the potatoes into uniform chunks. Place them in a large pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
2. Cook & Mash Potatoes:
Drain the potatoes well. Add 1/3 cup of butter and mash until smooth. Stir in the heavy whipping cream until well incorporated. Set aside.
3. Prepare Leeks:
While the potatoes are cooking, clean the leeks thoroughly and slice them thinly. Sauté the leeks in a large, deep skillet over medium heat with a bit of butter until they’re soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.
4. Make the Sauce:
Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed leeks and stir to combine, cooking for another 2 minutes. Gradually add the milk while stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth. Season with 1 tsp of black pepper.
5. Prepare the Salmon:
Cut the salmon into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the leek mixture and cook for about 5 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through. Stir gently to avoid breaking up the salmon too much.
6. Assemble the Pie:
Transfer the salmon and leek mixture into a large baking dish. Spread it out evenly. Spoon the mashed potatoes over the top, spreading them out to cover the salmon mixture completely. Use a fork to create patterns on the potato topping, if desired.
7. Add Cheese:
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the mashed potatoes.
8. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
9. Serve:
Remove from the oven and let the pie sit for a few minutes before serving. Divide into portions and enjoy your delicious salmon pie!

Tips:

- Ensure the potatoes are fully cooked and mashed smoothly to avoid lumps in your pie.

- When cooking the leeks, make sure they are thoroughly softened to bring out their sweet flavor.

- Use fresh dill if possible for a more vibrant flavor.

- Make sure the salmon is cooked until it flakes easily to ensure it's tender and juicy.

- You can add a splash of lemon juice to the pie filling for a fresh, tangy twist.

- Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving to let it set and make slicing easier.

With its rich and creamy texture combined with tender salmon, the Salmon pie is bound to become a favorite in your household. This recipe balances hearty ingredients with fresh flavors, creating a dish that's both comforting and wholesome.
