Salmon
Pot Pie With Pecan Biscuit Crust
Homemade pot pie is streamlined here by using store-bought pearl
onions in a cream sauce as the foundation of the filling. The
crust, made from a ready-made baking mix and plenty of crunchy
pecans, is also fuss free-simply mix and pour. If desired, cooked
chicken or turkey can be substituted for the salmon.
Serves 6
Filling:
12 oz. small red potatoes
12 oz. salmon fillet
2 packages (9 oz. each) frozen pearl onions in cream sauce, thawed
1 cup frozen petite peas, thawed
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
¾ teaspoon dried tarragon
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Pecan Biscuit Crust:
½ cup milk
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose baking mix
2/3 cup chopped Georgia pecans
To make filling: in a medium saucepot, cover potatoes with water
and heat to boiling; cook 20 minutes. Drain and spread potatoes on
sheet pan to cool.
Heat oven to 400°F. Butter a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Remove
and discard skin from salmon; cut fillet into bite-size chunks.
Place salmon pieces in large bowl and add thawed onions and their
sauce, the peas, celery, tarragon, and black pepper, mixing well.
When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut into small cubes and
add to salmon mixture. Spread mixture in pie plate.
To make crust: in a small bowl, beat milk and egg to blend. Stir
in baking mix and pecans just until moistened; do not over mix.
Pour evenly over filling. Bake 22 to 25 minutes or until top is
golden brown and filling bubbles. Cool 10 minutes before serving.
