My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by how much we liked this. I only have basmati rice in the house, so I'll use 1:1 water/rice quantity next time, 'cause the crust turned out a bit soggy. Also, next time, I might bake it five or so minutes before adding the filling. I tend to avoid celery, but I added it this time, 'cause it seemed important--and I just threw it and the onion into my food processor, which made it really easy. The salmon was home-canned with lemon and olive oil, so I did drain most of the oil and added some water. Also, I was a little nervous about the spices because they didn't seem to want to mix with the milk and egg--maybe I should've beaten them with the egg before I added the milk. I served this with Recipe #66543 as a side. Thanks, Derf!

Wow! This was great! I made it as posted except I didn't have low-fat milk, only whole milk due to two toddlers, but it turned out fabulous. My husband doesn't like too many new recipes and since we usually eat grilled salmon I wasn't sure but he loved it and said he thinks it's because it has cheese in it and the word "pie" in the name! I was also happy that my "pie" actually looked like Derf's picture, thanks for posting.

Truly delicious, and so simple to make with amazing flavours - and the rice crust makes this a very special tart/pie! I made it almost to specifications - I had extra rice, so I mixed some of it in with the egg filling - and that worked well. Do NOT leave out the spices - they are KEY to this wonderful recipe and made the flavours unique and very tasty - we loved them! I added a pinch of all the spices, but my curry powder may have been more like 1/4 of a teaspoon! Also use good quality red salmon, I used Princes Premium red salmon and it still retained its colour after baking. A real keeper for us Derf, I can see me making it again over the Christmas holiday period as well - it will make a wonderful buffet addition. Oh yes, I had no swiss cheese, so I used French Emmenthal cheese. Thanks for posting - FT:-)

This was a great lunch for us today. I used brown rice but otherwise made exactly as written. It came out just like the picture (a rarity for me) and all the flavors really matched well. I think my pinches must have been a little small, so next time I will increase the seasoning a little. Also think some chopped olives or mushrooms would be good. And perhaps a bit of crushed red pepper for some kick. I look forward to playing around with this. Thanks, Derf, for such a great new way to use canned salmon.
