Creamy Salmon Pie

Recipe Description

This Creamy Salmon Pie is what dreams are made of on a cold winter’s night! Serve it alongside a mustard sauce and some fresh vegetables, steamed and buttery. I think people tend to associate pies with meat than with fish, but I love the creamy, chunky filling of this salmon pie recipe, flavored with garlic, onion, and thyme.

Salmon is a meaty fish anyway, and the crusty pie shell and mashed potato matches it perfectly. Using store-bought pie shells takes all of the hassle out of making your own pastry and if you buy a good quality pack, you won’t even be able to tell the difference! You can also use pre-cooked salmon instead of canned, so if you have any leftover salmon this is a great recipe for using it up!

To make my Creamy Salmon Pie, you will need the following ingredients:
