Salmon & Spinach Pot Pie

recipe

• Step 1
  Be sure to follow the puff pastry package instructions! Preheat the oven to 400°F. If using frozen salmon, defrost it beforehand. Then chop the salmon into large chunks.
• Step 2
  Thaw the spinach. Thoroughly drain it in a fine-mesh sieve.
• Step 3
  Melt the butter in a pot over medium heat. Add the flour to the pot, whisking until smooth.
• Step 4
  Gradually add the milk in thirds, whisking between each addition. The mixture should be smooth & creamy.
• Step 5
  Add salt, pepper & the shredded cheese to the pot. Stir until the cheese has melted.
• Step 6
  Turn off the heat. Add the thawed spinach & cubed salmon. Mix it all together.
• Step 7
  Pour the creamy spinach-salmon mixture into a greased baking dish. Lay the puff pastry sheet over top. Fold in the edges of the dough to form a crust.
• Step 8
  Separate an egg, keeping only the yolk. Brush the top of the pastry with the egg yolk.
• Step 9
  Carve slits into the center of the dough. Bake for 20-30 min at 400°F, or according to the puff pastry cooking instructions.
• Step 10
  When the crust is golden brown, remove the pie from the oven. Let cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy!
