Simple and satisfying salmon pie: easy to prepare

Salmon pie is a truly exquisite dish that you can easily prepare at home. It is based on shortcrust pastry, which is perfectly kneaded and rolled out. It goes well with a delicious and very juicy filling.

The idea of making a hearty red fish pie was published on the Instagram page of a food blogger with the nickname tastystories.feed. The dish is quite satisfying and light at the same time.
