Canned Salmon Recipe
If you're looking for a canned salmon recipe, then here you have a recipe for salmon quiche.
I like using canned fish in cooking. It is a great standby if you have unexpected guests and a quick and tasty alternative to fresh in my opinion.
Canned Salmon Recipe Quiche
Pastry
Either use a packet mix, a bought pastry case or:-
8 oz (225g) self-raising flour
4 oz (110g) butter - chilled and cubed
teaspoon salt
milk to mix
My grandmother used to make pastry light as air - the secret was to use self raising flour, not plain and milk, not water to mix.
Give it a try and see if this canned salmon recipe isn't lifted out of the ordinary by this pastry.
Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl.
Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add about 1 tbspn milk and mix - if the mixture seems too dry, then add a little more milk.
Wrap in clingfilm and put in the fridge for about 30 minutes to rest.
Roll out the pastry to fit a 9" flan case, prick the bottom with a fork and rest for about 15 minutes in the fridge.
Cover the base with greaseproof paper or tinfoil, add baking beans (dried peas or beans will do) and bake blind in a hot oven Gas Mk 6, 450F, 230C) for 15 minutes.
Remove the baking beans and paper and bake a further 5 minutes.
Turn the oven down to Gas Mark 4, 400F, 200C
Filling
1 185g canned salmon, drained
1 thinly sliced tomato
6 oz (150g) cream cheese
1/2 pint (350ml) cream or milk
2 eggs
Pepper
Remove the skin and bones from the salmon, flake and arrange evenly over the bottom of the pastry case.
Arrange the sliced tomato over the salmon and dollop the cream cheese on top.
Beat the eggs into the milk, season with a twist of pepper and pour gently over the contents of the pastry case.
Bake for 30 minutes or so, until the quiche looks nicely risen.
Serve with a salad, baked potatoes or potato salad.

Remove the skin and bones from the salmon and flake.
Add to a bowl with the potatoes and capers and mix together - taste and adjust seasoning - before you add the egg.
Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Add enough milk to make a mixture that's 'slack' enough to mould into cakes.
Divid the mixture into 6 or 8 portions and shape to make fish cakes.
Dip in seasoned flour - chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes to make it easier to handle the fishcakes.
Fry in hot oil for about 10 minutes, turning frequently.
