Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 150 g salmon fillet, diced
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- 100 g flour
- 50 g butter, at room temperature
- 2 eggs + 1 yolk
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- ½ teaspoon mustard
- 1 green onion, chopped
- Pie dish, approx. 15 cm in diameter, greased with butter
Preparing the Salmon Quiche:
1. Preheat the Philips AirFryer: Set the temperature to 180°C. This will ensure even and efficient baking.
2. Marinating the salmon: In a small bowl, add the diced salmon, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well and let it marinate while you prepare the dough.
3. Preparing the dough: In another bowl, combine the flour with the butter. Use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until you achieve a sandy mixture. Add the yolk and 1 tablespoon of cold water. Gently knead the dough until it becomes smooth. You may need to add a little more water if it is too dry.
4. Forming the dough sheet: On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a sheet about 18 cm in diameter. Place the dough sheet into the greased dish, ensuring it fits well on the edges. If you have excess dough, you can let it hang over the edge of the dish or trim it.
5. Preparing the filling: In a bowl, beat the eggs and add the sour cream and mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything until the ingredients are fully combined.
6. Assembling the quiche: Pour the egg mixture into the dish with the dough. Add the marinated salmon cubes and sprinkle the chopped green onion on top. Make sure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
7. Baking: Place the dish in the AirFryer basket and set the timer for 20 minutes. The quiche is done when it turns golden and is firm to the touch.
8. Serving: Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before slicing. You can serve it warm or at room temperature, alongside a fresh salad for a balanced lunch.
Delicious Variations:
- Leek and Brie Cheese Quiche: Replace the salmon and green onion with 125 g of sliced leek mixed into the egg mixture. Sprinkle 100 g of grated Brie cheese on top for added creaminess.
- Cherry Tomato and Goat Cheese Quiche: You can substitute the salmon with 125 g of halved cherry tomatoes and 100 g of crumbled goat cheese. These ingredients add a sweet-tart note and an unmistakable flavor.
