Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Cold water
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 lb Salmon fillet (skinless)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Shallot (finely chopped)
• 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped)
• 1 Eggs (beaten, for egg wash)
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and incorporate it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together. Divide the dough in half, shape into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon fillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from heat, flake the salmon into small pieces, and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, sauté the chopped shallot and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 2 minutes.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, combine the flaked salmon, sautéed shallot and garlic, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, parsley, black pepper, and nutmeg. Stir until well combined.

Step 7

Roll out one of the chilled dough disks on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the rolled-out dough into the dish, pressing it gently into place.

Step 8

Spoon the salmon mixture evenly into the pie crust.

Step 9

Roll out the second dough disk and place it on top of the salmon filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to give it a golden, shiny finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
