This really has promise. I think it might have been better to have steamed the broccoli and then lightly chopped it before adding to the crust. I used two 6 oz cans of salmon and dried dill weed for the fresh. About 30 minutes into the cooking process, I bumped the cook temperature up to 425 degrees and it still required an additional 5 minutes to finish cooking. Good luck in the contest.

I wondered if I should have steamed the broccoli first? But it was fine. I found using a 7 ounce can of salmon to be enough. It would have been too much fish using the full amount. Also I cut back on the cheese to 1/2 cup. The egg mixture was creamy. I would have like a gooier cheese like mozzarella added to it. Healthy? Somewhat! But tasty! It would be a five star recipe for us made as I did.

My husband gave this recipe 2 thumbs up. I used 2 fresh roasted salmon fillets, as I needed to use them. Since the flavor of the fresh salmon in this dish was so good, I would be hesitant to try it with canned. Only my opinion of course. For the pastry crust I used Recipe #66929. Made for Craze-E #3 contest. :)
