Fish pie in the microwave
Description
At first glance, Finnish cuisine may seem unusual, and sometimes seemingly incompatible ingredients go together perfectly. For Finns, a fish pie is a traditional dish prepared both for festive occasions and everyday meals. This recipe has also found its place in our cuisine, as the result surprises even the most refined gourmets. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

1. First, prepare the dough: mix flour, water, and melted butter or margarine to form a dough. Then refrigerate it for 30 minutes while preparing the filling.

2. Peel the onion, chop it, and cut the fat into small pieces. Fry the bacon and onion in a skillet one after the other. I fry the fish fillet together with the onion and bacon.

3. Fry until the ingredients are cooked. I usually fry the bacon and fish first, then add the onion and cook until done.

4. Take the dough out of the refrigerator, roll it out and trim the edges with a knife. I usually make a rectangular shape.

5. I add a little cream to the filling (while frying) to make it juicier and tastier. You can use mayonnaise or sour cream instead. Place the filling onto the first layer of dough and spread it evenly over the entire surface.

6. I love baking pies with beautiful "patterns." Cover the pie with a sheet of dough and feel free to get creative, decorating the top of the pie with fancy dough designs. Brush the surface with egg, then place our Finnish fish pie in the oven for one hour.

7. If the oven temperature is below 190 degrees, the pie will take significantly longer to bake. Check for doneness with a knife or toothpick.
