Ingredients

• 500 grams Pastry dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 200 grams Cooked white rice
• 300 grams Salmon fillet (skinless, cooked and flaked)
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 30 grams Butter
• 3 Eggs
• 120 ml Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step 2

Roll out the pastry dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish, leaving some overhang. Carefully line the pie dish with the dough and trim any excess. Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork and set it aside.

Step 3

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, flaked salmon, sautéed onion, and chopped dill. Mix gently to combine.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Pour this mixture into the rice and salmon mixture, and stir until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust. This will help absorb any excess moisture during baking.

Step 7

Spoon the rice and salmon filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Roll out the remaining pastry dough (if using a double crust) and place it over the filling. Seal the edges and crimp them decoratively. Alternatively, create a lattice top with strips of dough.

Step 9

Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the top crust for a golden finish.

Step 10

Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 11

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.

Step 12

Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Rice and Salmon Pie!
