Trout Pie
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. Serve the trout pie cold or slightly warmed. You can use other types of red fish for this pie, such as salmon, Atlantic salmon, or pink salmon. If you don't like olives, you can replace them with green olives or diced sweet peppers. Feel free to substitute the spices with your favorite ones suitable for fish dishes. Due to the nature of the trout pie, it's best to bake it in a silicone mold, as it's easier to remove the pie intact from silicone than from any other type of mold. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
