Pie with pink salmon in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make pink salmon pie in the oven? Measure out the required ingredients. Take odorless vegetable oil. Milk can be used at any fat content. It needs to be slightly warmed up.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sift the flour into a wide bowl. Sifting will increase the oxygen content in the flour and the dough will rise better. And the baked goods will turn out more fluffy.

3. STEP 3

   

   In a small bowl, combine the yeast, 1 tsp. sugar and about 70 ml of warm milk. Mix everything well and leave for 10-12 minutes until a fluffy “cap” forms, which indicates good yeast activity.

4. STEP 4

   

   In a large, large bowl, beat the egg with sugar and salt until smooth.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add the rest of the warm milk and stir.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add activated yeast, stir.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour in vegetable oil, stir again.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add about 3/4 of the sifted flour. Do not pour out all the flour at once; you may need less of it than indicated in the recipe.

9. STEP 9

   

   Mix the dough first with a spoon. Add the rest of the flour in small portions, while mixing the dough with your hands. Watch its consistency.

10. STEP 10

    

    The dough should be soft, homogeneous, pliable and not tight. It practically does not stick to your hands. Place the dough in a bowl, cover with a towel and leave in a warm place to rise for 80-90 minutes. Rising time will depend on temperature and yeast activity, so it may vary slightly.

11. STEP 11

    

    While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. I first cleaned the pink salmon from skin and bones. For the filling you can use any spices and seasonings to your taste. I have spices for fish.

12. STEP 12

    

    Cut the fish fillet into small cubes.

13. STEP 13

    

    Wash the pre-peeled onions and cut into small cubes.

14. STEP 14

    

    Combine pink salmon fillet with onion, add spices and salt. Drizzle with vegetable oil to make the filling juicier. If you use ready-made spice mixtures, be sure to read the ingredients on the package. Often such mixtures already contain salt, take this into account so as not to over-salt the filling.

15. STEP 15

    

    Mix everything well and leave the filling to marinate a little so that it is saturated with spices.

16. STEP 16

    

    The dough has risen, having increased in volume by 2-2.5 times.

17. STEP 17

    

    Gently knead the dough and place it on a table sprinkled with flour. Divide the dough into parts: larger ones for the base of the pie, smaller ones for the top. I left some dough for decorating the pie (this is optional).

18. STEP 18

    

    Roll out most of the dough into a round layer slightly larger than the diameter of the mold.

19. STEP 19

    

    Cover the bottom of the baking dish with parchment and grease the sides with vegetable oil. Place the rolled out dough into the pan and form sides. I have a mold with a diameter of 22 cm.

20. STEP 20

    

    Spread the filling onto the dough in an even layer.

21. STEP 21

    

    Roll out the smaller part of the dough in the same way as the first and close the filling on top. Bring the edges of the dough together well. Make a hole in the center. This must be done so that excess moisture evaporates from the filling during baking.

22. STEP 22

    

    To frost the top of the pie, beat the egg and milk until smooth.

23. STEP 23

    

    Decorate the cake as you wish and leave to proof for 15 minutes, covered with a towel. Before baking, brush the cake with the egg wash using a pastry brush.

24. STEP 24

    

    Bake the pink salmon pie in an oven preheated to 180 C for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown. The dough rises during baking, so make sure that the hole in the center of the pie does not close. Cooking time and mode may vary. Focus on the operating features of your oven.

25. STEP 25

    

    Let the finished pie cool slightly, remove from the pan and cut into pieces. Serve the pie warm. Bon appetit!

Fish pies are a very recent discovery for me, but already a favorite. Therefore, I baked a pie with pink salmon in the oven with interest and pleasure. The dough turned out wonderful (I even saved a quarter of it and baked some gorgeous cinnamon rolls for my daughter). Onions crushed through a meat grinder and vegetable oil made the fish filling juicy; from the spices I added a little freshly ground white pepper and smoked paprika. Of course, I wasn’t able to decorate the top of the pie as skillfully as in the author’s photo, but my pie also looked quite appetizing, and my husband and son really liked it. The fish filling goes well with the sweetish pastry, next time I would just sprinkle it with a little lemon juice. Thanks for the great recipe, I will definitely make it again!
