Ingredients

Crust

  • 2 medium potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Filling

  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 3 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • zest of one lemon
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 6 ounces cooked salmon
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Instructions

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425° and grease a 9-inch pie plate with butter.

Crust

  • Scrub the potatoes and prick them several times with a fork. Place them on a microwave-proof plate and cook them on full power in the microwave for 8 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes and grate them with a grater, include the peel in the grating.
  • In a small bowl, toss the grated potato, melted butter, parmesan cheese, and salt until combined. Press into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate and bake 25- 30 minutes until light golden brown. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature.

Filling

  • Reduce oven to 350*.
  • Heat some oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Cook the onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute then remove from heat and allow to cool down.
  • Place the cream cheese in a mixing bowl and beat with a mixer until soft. Stir in the cooked onions, lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, and milk. Gently stir in the salmon, dill, salt and pepper.
  • Pour filling into the potato crust and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown.
  • If the edge of the crust begins to brown too much before the quiche is done, place a strip of tin foil around the edge of the crust as it cooks. Allow to cool down for 20-30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Smoked salmon can be substituted for the cooked salmon however the nutrition label will change from 273mg of sodium per serving to 711mg of sodium per serving.
  • You can also use canned salmon instead of fresh salmon.
