Cook Mode (Keep screen awake)

Ingredients

  • 1 (5½-ounce) salmon fillet

  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil plus 1 tablespoon, divided

  • ½ cup sliced leek, white and light green parts only

  • 2 cups sliced button mushrooms

  • 1 cup frozen chopped spinach

  • ½ teaspoon salt, divided

  • 5 large eggs

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

  • Lemon zest for garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a pie pan with cooking spray. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Place 1 (5½-ounce) salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons oil and bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet. Let cool slightly; flake the fillet with a fork.

  3. Meanwhile, place the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet; heat over medium heat. Add ½ cup leek; cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 1 minute. Add 2 cups mushrooms, 1 cup spinach and ¼ teaspoon salt; stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and any liquid released from the vegetables has evaporated, 5 to 8 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

  4. Add the flaked cooked salmon to the vegetables and combine. Transfer to the prepared pie pan and spread in an even layer. Whisk 5 eggs, 1 cup milk and the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon dill.
