Easy Salmon Quiche Recipe

“Almost like a soufflé, light and delicate, this Easy Salmon Quiche recipe is delicious.”

Makes one quiche – serves 4 – 6

Note there is both a crust and quiche mixture component. For a more delicate quiche, reduce Easy Salmon to 8 oz. and increase cream cheese to 6 oz., milk to ½ cup, and peas to ¾ cup. For a heartier version, use full package of Easy Salmon.

Crust :

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (Bob’s Red Mill)
1/2 tsp. salt
3 Tbsp. Crisco refrigerator temperature
1 Tbsp. butter (cool, but not hard)
1 – 2 Tbsp. ice water

Mix together flour and salt. Cut in shortening and butter. Sprinkle mixture with one tablespoon of ice water and with a rubber spatula or fork try to combine ingredients so they stay together lightly. You may have to add another ½ to 1 tablespoon of water or more. Do not add too much water – dough will be too sticky. Round dough into a ball. Roll out dough onto a smooth surface covered with plastic wrap and sprinkled with a little flour. When dough is rolled enough to cover the bottom and sides of a 9-10 inch pie plate or quiche dish lift under plastic wrap and invert into the pie plate or dish. Remove plastic wrap, and finish edge.

Pre-heat oven to 375°F.

Quiche Mixture:
¼ cup finely chopped onion
1 T. olive oil
1 lb. Easy Salmon
4 oz. cream cheese (reduced fat works well) at room temperature
3 eggs
¾ cup heavy cream
¼ cup milk
½ cup frozen “early harvest” peas – thawed
2 T. fresh dill, chopped
¼ cup finely chopped or shredded Provolone cheese
1 T. lemon juice
1 t. lemon shredded lemon peel ½ tsp. salt & pepper to taste

Defrost salmon and frozen peas (defrost peas in a covered container so that they don’t take on water (condensation).

Sauté onion in olive oil until onion becomes translucent – set aside to cool. In a large mixing bowl beat eggs, add cream cheese and mix well. Add chopped Provolone then heavy cream and milk stir until well mixed. Then fold in Easy Salmon, onion, peas, dill, lemon juice and rind, and salt & pepper.
