“A favorite with our family, this French-Canadian dish has been passed down from many generations. It's a simple dish that can be served with a bechamel sauce. If you like salmon you will enjoy this pie.” - by MACKENZIE

1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon butter
1 (6 ounce) can red salmon, undrained

Original recipe yields 1 - 9 inch deep dish pie

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool and chop.
In a medium saucepan, cook onions, garlic and butter over medium heat until vegetables become transparent in color.
Add onion/garlic mixture, salmon and thyme to cooked potatoes. Mash all together with milk, adding just enough to bring about a mashed potato consistency. Spread evenly into pie shell.
Place second pie shell over top of salmon mixture. Cut slits into the upper shell, then pinch edges of both pie shells together. Bake on lower rack of oven for 45 minutes.
