Ingredients

  • 1 cup Minced Dry Smoked Salmon (I Use Hardy Buoys From Northern Vancouver Island, It Is So Delicious But Other Brands Would Work Just As Well If It Is Not A Wet Product)
  • 2 cans (213g Can) Sockeye (red) Salmon, Drained, Deboned And Skin Removed
  • 1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise, Just Enough To Make The Salmon Mixture Just Stick Together But Not Wet
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 4 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar
  • 1/2 cups Shortening (or Butter)
  • 1 whole Beaten Egg
  • 3/4 cups Or More Milk, Just Enough To Add To Beaten Egg To Make 1 Cup Of Liquid

Method

  • Prepare filling:
  • Pulse both types of salmon and mayo in the food processor just long enough to combine into a cohesive mixture, or mash with a fork.
  • Set aside.
  • Prepare the biscuit crust:
  • Blend dry ingredients together, then cut in shortening to form a crumb-like mixture.
  • Add liquid and blend with a fork till everything is moistened.
  • Dump dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly to form a cohesive ball.
  • Then move to a nonstick pan and roll out to an oblong shape about 12 to 14 inches by 9 inches.
  • Gently spread salmon mixture all over the rolled dough to within 1/2 inch of the edges.
  • Carefully lift the bottom edge to the centre then bring the top edge down to the middle to just partly cover the dough.
  • Flip the roll over so the seam is on the bottom, and form into a crescent shape.
  • With a sharp knife, poke holes along both the front and back edges and along the top to let the steam out as it bakes and prevent it from being soggy.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes till nicely browned.
  • Slice and serve immediately with hot egg sauce.
  • Enjoy!
  • Note: Egg Sauce is simply a white milk sauce cooked with the addition of 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 hard boiled egg (chopped in chunks and not mashed), 1 teaspoon paprika, and fresh ground pepper to taste.
