Ingredients
- 350 grams Salmon fillet (skinless)
- 150 grams Plain couscous
- 200 ml Boiling water
- 2 large Eggs
- 150 grams Greek yogurt (plain)
- 100 grams Frozen peas
- 75 grams Feta cheese (crumbled)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Milk (for egg wash)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a round pie dish or 9-inch tart pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place the couscous in a heatproof bowl, pour over the boiling water, cover with a plate, and let sit for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
Step 3
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and cook the salmon fillet for 3-4 minutes per side until just cooked through. Break it into flakes with a fork and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and Greek yogurt until smooth. Stir in the feta cheese, peas, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Add the flaked salmon and couscous to the egg mixture and gently fold together until well combined.
Step 6
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Gently press it into the prepared pie dish, allowing the excess to hang over the edges.
Step 7
Spoon the salmon and couscous mixture into the pastry-lined dish, spreading it evenly.
Step 8
Fold the pastry edges over the top of the filling, leaving some of the center exposed. Brush the pastry edges with a thin layer of milk for a golden finish.
Step 9
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Salmon and Couscous Pie!
