Salmon pirozhki
Description
Home baking for tea. Salmon pies are certainly not a delicacy, but neither are they quite an everyday dish. When we buy a whole salmon, we always set aside some of it for the pies our family loves so dearly. For me, as the person who does all the cooking, I appreciate salmon pies less for their flavour than for how simple they are to make—no fuss at all, everything is quick and easy. As for the family, they simply adore these soft, melt-in-your-mouth pies—they only ever complain that I make too few of them and not often enough :) But good things are best in moderation, aren’t they? The baking is ready. Serve at the table.

Step 6
Place a little of our filling in the center of each circle, then fold the pastry. An important point: you need to fold the pastries so that a small opening remains at the top. For clarity, see the photo.
