Tips for success with salmon and spinach pie
Before you head to the grocery store and start making a recipe, there are a few things to keep in mind. Here are some tips for success with salmon and spinach pie:
Use a food processor for the pie dough
Of course, the fastest and easiest way is to mix the dough ingredients with a food processor. It only takes a few minutes and it’s done!
However, if you don’t have a food processor, you can do it by hand.
Then mash the butter with flour and salt. Then add cold water gradually and knead the dough together.
cold smoked salmon or smoked salmon
It’s a matter of taste that you choose yourself. I personally think that cold smoked salmon is the best, which is why I have it in my salmon and spinach pies.
If you like grilled salmon, you can choose this instead!
Selection of cheese
You can use any grated paneer for this recipe. However, I recommend using Westerbotten cheese because it gives the pie a wonderful taste.
use fresh spinach
Frozen spinach is quite watery when thawed, so I recommend using fresh spinach in this recipe. There is a risk that the pie will freeze properly when the spinach is filled with water.
Also, don’t use any kind of oil when frying the spinach after the onion. This can also result in a slightly loose pie.
