Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
• 2 fillets (approximately 300g) salmon fillets
• 200 grams broccoli florets
• 100 grams Swiss cheese
• 100 grams cream cheese
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon dill, fresh or dried
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a pie dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to fit your pie dish, ensuring an overhang around the edges. Gently press the pastry into the dish, trimming any excess. Reserve trimmed pastry if you'd like to decorate the top later.

Step 3

Prepare the salmon: Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Cook the salmon fillets on each side for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned and just cooked through. Remove from the pan, let cool slightly, and flake into large pieces using a fork.

Step 4

Steam the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until tender but still crunchy. Drain and set aside to cool.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, lemon juice, dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth, then gently fold in the flaked salmon and steamed broccoli.

Step 6

Transfer the salmon-broccoli mixture into the pie dish lined with pastry. Spread evenly and sprinkle shredded Swiss cheese over the filling.

Step 7

In a small bowl, beat the egg and mix in the milk to create an egg wash. Brush the exposed edges of the puff pastry with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 8

If desired, use trimmed pastry to create decorative patterns or stripes on top of the filling. Brush the decorations with the remaining egg wash.

Step 9

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Swiss Broccoli and Salmon Pie!
