Notes

EXCLUSIVE AH7 TIPS:
Always choose fresh salmon over frozen for a richer flavor.
Personalize your salmon quiche by adding veggies like spinach or bell peppers for an extra boost of nutrition.
If you’re keen on a crispier crust, pre-bake the pie crust for 10 minutes before adding the filling.
Use fresh dill instead of dried dill to retain the authentic taste.
SERVING & ENJOYING YOUR QUICHE:
Slice the salmon quiche into even quarters.
Pair with a light green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
The salmon quiche is best served warm, but it can also be enjoyed cold the next day for a quick snack or meal.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.
