Salmon Pie With Egg Sauce

Chouny's Note:

My mom who just passed away recently, used to make this delicious salmon pie when we were young and had completely forgotten about it until just recently. Thanks to my sister Lucie who’s been making it on a regular basis and who reminded me about it ! Hope you enjoy this very comforting salmon pie.

As a family we like the adventure to try something new, sometimes we like it and sometimes we do not. We all loved the egg sauce very similar to what I put over cauliflower without the eggs. The Pie well we all thought it was missing something… my husband said he didn’t care for it at all, yet my son said he liked it but thought it needed peas. We probably wouldn’t make this again, just personal taste.
