Salmon Pies
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I'm sure even beginner cooks won't have any trouble with this simple salmon pie recipe. Making salmon pies isn't complicated at all, yet the results are simply magical. I can't find the words to describe how delicious they are—they just melt in your mouth, and you can eat them all in one sitting... If you have salmon (you can substitute another red fish) and puff pastry, make them—you won't regret it :) Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
