Ingredients

• 400 grams canned red salmon (drained and flaked)
• 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium yellow onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 250 milliliters milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 large egg (beaten for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the milk while stirring constantly, creating a smooth and creamy sauce. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.

Step 5

Stir in the flaked red salmon, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Step 6

Unroll one sheet of puff pastry onto the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the salmon mixture onto the center, leaving a 2.5 cm (1-inch) border around the edges.

Step 7

Brush the border with beaten egg, then place the second sheet of puff pastry on top. Press the edges firmly together to seal, and crimp with a fork for decoration, if desired.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, cut a few small slits in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 9

Brush the entire top surface with the remaining beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the pie sit for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
