Jamie Oliver Salmon Filo Pie is a baked savory pie made with chunks of salmon combined with a creamy sauce and wrapped in thin, layered filo pastry. The pastry turns crisp and golden in the oven while the filling remains soft and flavorful.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling

    • 400g salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into chunks

    • 1 small onion, finely chopped

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    • 200 ml double cream (or crème fraîche)

    • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

    • Zest of ½ lemon

    • 100g fresh spinach (optional)

    • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Pastry

    • 6–8 sheets filo pastry

    • 40g melted butter or olive oil (for brushing)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 190°C (170°C fan). Lightly grease a baking dish.

Step 2: Cook the Onion

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft.

Step 3: Prepare the Filling

Add cream, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to the pan. Stir gently. If using spinach, add it and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and fold in salmon chunks.

Step 4: Layer the Filo Pastry

Lay one sheet of filo in the dish and brush lightly with melted butter or oil. Repeat layering and brushing until half the sheets are used.

Step 5: Add the Filling

Spoon the salmon mixture evenly over the filo layers.

Step 6: Cover with the remaining filo

Layer the remaining filo sheets on top, brushing each with butter or oil. Tuck edges neatly inside the dish.

Step 7: Bake

Bake for 30–35 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.

Step 8: Rest Before Serving

Let the pie rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This helps the filling set slightly.
