Instructions
Step 1
Make open fish pie dough. Melt the butter, mix it with flour, add salt and some water. Knead the dough, it should be thick. Roll out the dough into a thin round layer and place in an oiled pan with edges. Place the dough, while no filling, in an oven preheated to 200 degrees. Bake for no more than ten minutes.
Step 2
Prepare the filling. Boil the fish until half cooked. Chop the onion finely and fry. Cut the fish, mix with the onion and chopped fresh dill. Salt, pepper, pour sour cream. Put the resulting mixture in a mold with already baked dough. The filling should not go over the edges of the cake. Sprinkle the cheese over the pie and bake for 20 minutes. Place the dish whole on the table and cut immediately before serving to guests.
Step 3
Figs will be an interesting addition to fish pie. In this case, it is best to use not raw fish, but ready-made smoked salmon. Figs are added chopped to the filling along with fish and dill.
Step 4
Make a closed pie. To do this, take the finished puff pastry, roll it out and divide it into two parts. Place the first on a greased baking sheet.
Step 5
Boil the fish until half cooked in salted water with bay leaves. Cut the fish into small pieces with a side of about 5 cm. Spread them evenly over the surface of the dough. Add rice or potatoes for a more satisfying pie. But in this case, these ingredients will also need to be boiled beforehand. Season the filling with salt and pepper, sprinkle with chopped dill.
Step 6
Cover the cake with the second piece of dough, pinch the edges. Punch a hole in the middle of the top layer to let steam out of the cake. Bake in the oven for no more than half an hour. Cool the cake slightly under a towel before serving.
