Crisp Phyllo-topped Salmon Pot Pie
Crisp Phyllo-topped Salmon Pot Pie might be just the main course you are searching for. One serving contains 484 calories, 26g of protein, and 30g of fat. This recipe serves 6. If you have bacon, bay leaf, crimini mushrooms, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the butter you could follow this main course with the Cinnamon Butter Cake as a dessert. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes around 1 hour.
Instructions
Cook bacon in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat until crisp.
Remove from pan; crumble and set aside.
Add mushrooms and next 4 ingredients to skillet; cook, stirring often, 8 minutes or until mushrooms are lightly browned and all liquid has evaporated. Stir in broth and next 4 ingredients, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 6 to 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Whisk together half-and-half and flour in a small bowl; add to skillet and cook, stirring constantly, 3 minutes or until mixture comes to a boil and thickens slightly.
Add salmon, and cook 1 to 2 minutes or until opaque.
Remove from heat, and stir in chives and reserved bacon. Spoon mixture into a lightly greased 2 1/2-quart baking dish.
Place 1 phyllo sheet on a work surface. (Cover remaining phyllo with a damp kitchen towel to prevent drying.)
Brush lightly with melted butter, and sprinkle evenly with about 1 tablespoon cheese. Top with another phyllo sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo, butter, and cheese.
Place stacked phyllo on top of salmon mixture, and tuck in corners.
Place baking dish on a baking sheet.
Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Salmon. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. The Foley Estate Winery Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 27 dollars per bottle.
