Salmon mornay and potato wedge pie

Salmon mornay and potato wedge pie combines the rich flavors of creamy mornay sauce with succulent salmon and crispy potato wedges. This dish is perfect for a family dinner or any occasion where you want to impress your guests with a delicious and hearty meal.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
54g
2 leeks
360g
1/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
30g
2.50 cups milk (1% fat)
600g
2 tsp mustard
10g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
1 lb salmon
450g
1/2 cup peas
60g
4 potatoes
800g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and cut the potatoes into wedges. Place them on a baking sheet, drizzle with a bit of oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake the potato wedges for 30-35 minutes or until golden and crispy. Flip them halfway through for even cooking.
2. Cook the Leeks:
- While the potatoes are baking, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the sliced leeks and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until they are soft and translucent.
3. Make the Mornay Sauce:
- Sprinkle the flour over the cooked leeks and stir well, cooking for another 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to whisk until the sauce thickens and starts to bubble, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the mustard and lemon zest, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Add the Salmon and Peas:
- Gently fold in the salmon pieces and peas into the Mornay sauce. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the salmon is just cooked through and opaque. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
5. Assemble the Pie:
- Take a large ovenproof dish and pour in the salmon mornay mixture, spreading it out evenly.
- Arrange the baked potato wedges on top of the salmon mornay in a decorative pattern.
6. Bake the Pie:
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the top is golden and everything is heated through.
7. Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Salmon Mornay and Potato Wedge Pie warm with a fresh side salad or steamed vegetables.

Tips:

- Use Fresh Ingredients: Ensure that you are using fresh salmon and leeks for the best flavor. Fresh ingredients can significantly enhance the overall taste of your dish.

- Don’t Overcook the Salmon: To prevent the salmon from becoming dry, be careful not to overcook it. The salmon should remain moist and tender.

- Stir Constantly While Making the Sauce: When preparing the mornay sauce, make sure to stir constantly to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.

- Season to Taste: Taste the mornay sauce before combining it with the other ingredients, and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

- Preheat the Oven: Make sure to preheat your oven to the recommended temperature before baking the pie. This ensures even cooking and the right texture for your potato wedges.

This salmon mornay and potato wedge pie is sure to become a favorite with its delightful combination of textures and flavors. Whether you're making it for a special occasion or simply for a comforting meal at home, this recipe is both satisfying and impressive.
