Discover the pâté au saumon, a French Canadian-style pie made with simple pantry staples.
In Québec, salmon pies are sold in many grocery stores, but like traditional tourtières (meat pies), every family has its own recipe and way of making them. Since moving to Australia, I've learned to prepare this comforting dish from scratch whenever I'm craving a taste of home. Québec-style salmon pie is typically made with fresh or canned salmon, potatoes, vegetables and seasonings, all baked between layers of pastry. Usually prepared as a family-sized pie, it is often served with steamed vegetables or a simple salad on the side.

Economical, satisfying and easy to prepare, salmon pie is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed throughout the year. With a prepared pastry dough, it also comes together surprisingly quickly. My version is adapted from my mum's recipe (the best, of course!) and remains one of my favourite comfort foods from Québec.
