I’ve never been a fan of self-crusting quiche but this recipe is a total winner! As the recipe says – a smaller can of salmon is quite adequate if that’s all that’s on hand.

I also wilted some spinach and placed it in the bottom of the dish before adding everything else and that worked well as an ‘all-in-one’ recipe.

This is a very successful recipe that gets repeated almost every few weeks in our household.
An economical and tasty way to include omega-rich salmon in our diet.
