Ingredients

Servings: 6–8
  • 1 sheet of shortcrust pastry (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 salmon fillet (about 300 g)
  • 2 leeks, finely chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced very small
  • 2 spring onions, finely chopped
  • A few drops of olive oil
  • 200 g strained yogurt
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • A little chives, for garnish

Directions

  1. Prepare the pastry:
    Preheat the oven to 170°C (fan). Lightly grease the base and sides of a 25 cm tart pan. Lay in the pastry, trimming the edges, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove and let it cool for 10 minutes.

  2. Prepare the salmon:
    Dice the salmon and keep it covered in the fridge until ready to use.

  3. Cook the vegetables:
    In a pan, combine the leeks, carrots, and ½ cup of water. Cook over medium heat until the vegetables have absorbed the liquid and the leeks are soft.
    Add a few drops of olive oil and the spring onions, sauté for 2–3 minutes, then remove from heat.

  4. Make the creamy filling:
    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, and mustard. Season with salt, pepper, and dill.

  5. Assemble the tart:
    Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly over the partially baked tart shell. Add the diced salmon on top, then carefully pour the egg-yogurt mixture over everything.

  6. Bake:
    Bake the tart on the middle rack of the oven for about 35 minutes, until the filling is set and the surface lightly golden.

  7. Serve:
    Let the tart cool for 15 minutes before serving. Garnish with a sprinkle of chives.

Recipe Tips

For extra flavor, lightly sear the salmon before adding it to the tart, or add a touch of lemon zest to the filling to brighten the taste.

A lighter, plant-based take on the traditional Greek fricassee, this dish combines sautéed mushrooms, fresh greens, aromatic herbs, and olive oil. Finish it with a squeeze of lemon for a vegan version or a creamy egg-lemon sauce (avgolemono) for a richer, more traditional flavor.
