To prepare a delicious salmon and asparagus pie, start by washing the salmon fillet well under a stream of cold water. Make sure to remove any bones and skin, then pat it dry with a paper towel to absorb excess water. Place the fillet on a sheet of rolled-out dough, which can be puff pastry or pie dough, depending on your culinary preferences.
After placing the salmon, season it with salt, pepper, and some herbs, such as dill or basil, to enhance its flavor. Then, prepare the asparagus; if it is fresh, boil it for a few minutes in salted water to retain its vibrant color and crunch. If you are using canned asparagus, rinse it well with cold water to remove excess sodium and make it suitable for use. Place the asparagus on top of the salmon fillet, creating a delicious and nutritious combination.
Once all the ingredients are arranged, carefully fold the dough over the filling, ensuring that the edges are well pressed to avoid juices leaking during baking. Brush the surface of the pie with a mixture of milk and oil, which will give it a golden and appetizing appearance. Use a pastry brush to evenly cover the dough, then you can gently press the edges with a fork to seal them.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and place the pie on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake the pie for about 30 minutes or until it becomes golden and crispy. In the meantime, you can prepare a delicious sauce that will complement the dish excellently. In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat and add salt, pepper, and, if desired, a little lemon juice for added freshness.
Add the starch, stirring constantly to avoid lumps, then extinguish with white wine, continuing to stir until the sauce becomes smooth and slightly thicker. After the pie is ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly, then cut it into portions and serve it alongside the warm sauce. This dish is perfect for both a special dinner and a refined lunch. Enjoy your meal!
