Ingredients

• 300 grams Salmon fillet (boneless, skinless)
• 200 grams Smoked mackerel (skin removed, flaked)
• 400 grams Potatoes (peeled and cubed)
• 50 grams Unsalted butter
• 30 grams All-purpose flour
• 300 ml Whole milk
• 100 ml Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 sheet Puff pastry (pre-rolled sheet)
• 1 unit Egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, and cook the cubed potatoes for about 12-15 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

Season the salmon fillet with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place the fillet in a parchment-lined baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until just cooked through. After cooking, flake the salmon into chunks and set aside to cool.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.

Step 5

Gradually add the milk to the roux, whisking constantly to create a smooth sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream, lemon zest, fresh parsley, and season with the remaining salt and black pepper. Remove the saucepan from the heat.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, flaked salmon, and flaked smoked mackerel. Pour the sauce over the mixture and gently fold until well combined.

Step 8

Transfer the filling mixture into a deep, oven-safe pie dish.

Step 9

Roll out the puff pastry (if necessary) and cover the top of the pie dish, trimming any excess. Press the edges down to seal and crimp with a fork. Cut a small steam hole in the center of the pastry.

Step 10

Brush the pastry top with beaten egg to create a golden crust.

Step 11

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 12

Allow the pie to cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Salmon Smoked Mackerel Pie!
