Salmon



So 2 nights ago John and I made salmon for dinner. There was WAY too much leftover, since I don't really love "meat" (I know this is seafood)... and I just wasn't that hungry for some reason. Anyway since we had so much extra, I decided to make my mom's salmon quiche for dinner the next night. It came out super good, and I had so much salmon I was able to make another quiche, bake it and put it in the freezer for a future dinner! Here is the recipe for anyone interested. It is really easy!



Salmon Quiche

1 (15oz.) can salmon (my mom always used leftover salmon and I did too- just add what you think looks good)
3 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayo
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 Tbsp. grated onion ( Its not that much, but I didn't add any since I didn't have onion and don't love them)
1/4 tsp. dill weed
3 drops liquid smoke (My mom adds more, I think I used a capful? The caps are pretty small) Don't leave this ingredient out- its important!
1 piecrust ( I just bought a frozen premade one at the store- don't bake before hand)


Directions:

Drain salmon (if using canned) flake, and set aside

In a bowl, blend the eggs, sour cream and mayo. Stir in salmon, cheese, onion, dill weed, and liquid smoke.
Spoon filling into crust
Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes or until firm in the center.

* I had to cover up the crust with tin foil about half way through baking to make sure it didn't burn.

Here is the inside of ths finished product!
