Recipes Salmon Quiche

Whether you’re baking for brunch, afternoon tea, or simply a gathering of friends, this Salmon Quiche with Spinach, Dill and Mozzarella is a treat your guests will love. It is light, creamy and custardy with the seafood and savory flavors we all love. It is also so easy to make, and so pretty to serve!

Have simple ingredients? This Salmon Quiche recipe is one of those. This is why it’s one of my favorite quiches to make, especially during the spring when I want everything to be fresh and light.

I also love that this quiche recipe is also super customisable with the greens and cheese you have in the fridge. I love mozzarella cheese in this quiche, but Swiss cheese, grated or shredded parmesan, or Gruyere is super tasty too. I love spinach, but you can easily substitute your favorite greens like kale, arugula, etc.

You can also make this quiche with milk, cream or half and half – whatever you’ve already got open will work – don’t you hate it when you just have small amounts of cream left in the fridge from following a recipe?

This quiche is delicious with a store-bought pie crust or a homemade butter crumb tart crust or pie crust. I make it both ways. This is a good recipe for a homemade pie crust.

Blind baking the crust is completely optional. If you like the bottom of your crust to be crispier and browned, bake the crust in the preheated oven for 7 to 10 minutes until it is partially baked. Then cool completely before adding the filling and baking as directed.

Smoked Salmon And Broccoli Quiche

I often skip this step. I like a softer crust on the bottom and I don’t like the fluted edges too dark.You could also use apie crust protector shield if you really want to blind bake.

While I prefer to use pre-cooked (but still fresh) salmon, one 6 ounce can of salmon is easy and delicious too. Be sure to flake it into large chunks when adding to the quiche.

This Salmon Quiche has a light and creamy custard texture due to an egg to milk ratio of 1/2 cup of milk or cream for every egg. If you like a sturdier quiche, add one more egg.

Puff Pastry Smoked Salmon And Crème Fraîche Quiche

The filling is super easy to make so it really comes down to the crust – ready made pie shell, store bought shortcrust pastry or homemade quiche crust. Whichever you choose, this quiche is a totally Easter-worthy recipe!

I used to make Salmon Quiche with fresh salmon, thinking that it was “better” like most from-scratch things are. While still delicious, I have to confess that when it came down to choosing a quiche to make for brunch, I’d always makeQuiche Lorraine in all its bacon-loaded glory over Salmon Quiche – unless there were non-meat eaters present.😂

BOOM! Wow, what a difference it made. Smoked salmon is cured with salt like with Salmon Gravlax so every single piece is well seasoned all the way through. So you get great flavour with every single bite

Diana Henry's Smoked Salmon And Watercress Quiche Recipe

All the usual suspects here – eggs, cream, a bit of cheese (it’s not intended to be cheesy, just adds a bit of richness + flavour). Just a note on a few of the ingredients:

But one day, try your hand at a homemade quiche crust! It’s shortcrust pastry made with butter, and it has flavour and the signature flaky texture unlike any store bought pastry. 🙂

The Quiche Crust recipe has a video and I use the quick method using a food processor which works 100% perfectly. You’ll see in the Salmon Quiche video below just how flaky and crisp yet tender the crust is – just as it should be!

Salmon Quiche Recipe

Quiche crust decided, the rest of the quiche is outrageously easy – especially given we’re using smoked salmon here. I think the step photos below are a good illustration of how to make it – and there’s also the recipe video.

I know people get really pedantic about not overcooking quiches, but because of the generous amount of cream I use in my quiche recipes, it’s actually pretty hard to overcook my quiche filling to the point that it’s not custardy. 🙂 I’ve overcooked it by 20 minutes when I missed the timer and it wasn’t much different on the inside, though the top was VERY deep golden!

The thing with quiche is that it’s so dang easy, yet people are always sooo impressed. Because quiche crust aside, it’s really just a matter of whisking together eggs and cream, then adding whatever “stuff” you want in your quiche.

Low Fodmap Salmon Spinach Quiche

Try this recipe with roasted vegetables one day – like the mix used in Baked Frittata (which is pretty much a healthier crustless quiche).

If you’re making this quiche for a lovely brunch and want a side salad to impress, try this Apple Salad with Candied Walnuts and Cranberries. I’ve gotten some great feedback on this salad lately – people are especially tickled by the “plumped” cranberries!! 😂

Recipe video above. The most amazing salmonquichemade with smoked salmon!! When cooked, it's looks just like cooked normal salmon - but with better seasoning in every bite. This fills a deep dish quiche tin 23cm / 9″ diameter, 3.5 cm / 1.5″ deep. Scale down for smaller tins and prepared pie shells - see Note 1.

Mini Salmon Quiches Recipe: How To Make Mini Salmon Quiches Recipe

1. Quiche crust options and scaling filling - plenty of options here, go with what works for you. Recipe makes enough to fill a deep dish tart quiche crust 23cm / 9″ diameter, 3.5 – 4 cm / 1.5 – 1.7″ deep.

2. Leek - more delicate than onion, sub with 1/2 cup finely chopped normal onion or sliced eshallots (French onions, the baby onions)

3. Cream - any full fat cream is fine here, normal cream, heavy or thickened. Light will work fine too, but the quiche filling won't have the same rich custardy flavour that we love about quiche!

Recipe Broccoli Salmon Quiche

4. Dill - classic herb pairing with salmon, but still lovely without. Also great with chives, or finely chopped green part of green onions. Parsley doesn't really add any flavour but little green bits always look nice.

5. Salmon - best flavour using smoked salmon, next best using hot smoked salmon (flake into chunks), and third best is cooking fresh salmon (sprinkle with salt and pepper then roast 180C/350F for 15 minutes OR pan fry on medium until barely cooked inside, flake then use).

6. Cheese - gruyere is my favourite but any melting cheese will work fine here, even mozzarella. Monterey Jack, cheddar (white), tasty, pepper jack, Swiss all great.

7. Asparagus - easiest way to trim woody ends off is to snap them, they will naturally break at the right point.

8. Storage/make ahead: Quiche is brilliant reheated. Keep for 3 - 4 days in the fridge then reheat for 15 minutes at 180C/350F in the oven. Or freeze, then defrost a slice (or microwave 1.5 min) then bake for 8 minutes (to crisp base).

Mini Quiche With Spinach And Salmon — Kachen

PS It’s a Hospital Chopper but don’t worry, there wasn’t an emergency at the dog park! The park is located next to a hospital which has a chopper landing pad which was getting work done to it.

I believe you can make great food with everyday ingredients even if you’re short on time and cost conscious. You just need to cook clever and get creative!
