Salmon Tartlets

"Found this recipe in a library book when I was 13 and it became my instant signature dish that haunts me to this day lol I no longer eat meat or fish,but these are still requested often by anyone who's had them. This is one of those recipes that I can count on to come out well without taste testing along the way."

directions

  • Beat butter, cheese and flour, roll into a ball and chill 1-2 hours.
  • Drain/de-bone salmon. Transfer to a large bowl. Add onion, parsley, lemon, butter, salt, pepper and sage. Add eggs and milk, mix and mash together well. Stir in crumbs.
  • Remove the cream cheese pastry dough from the refrigerator and roll into 12 balls. Place each ball into an ungreased muffin cup (standard size) and press along bottom and up sides to form nice little shells (this takes a little patience, but the first time i did it the recipe never mentioned chilling the dough and it took FOREVER!).
  • Fill each tart shell with the salmon mixture all the way to the top.
  • Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes.
  • Let cool in pans about 5 minutes before removing (go gently around edges with a butter knife and they should pop right out!).

  1. I've made these several times for my son who absolutely devours them!! The dough is wonderful and browns beautifully. I did however add 2 TBSP of dill to the dough mixture which doesn't change the taste significantly, but gives it a subtle flavor. Love the fact that they are simple and I tend to keep the ingredients on hand at all times because I never know when he'll ask for them. They've been a hit at various get togethers and although I don't eat them, I'm told they're delicious.
     
  2. Knew a lady over 25 years ago who made mouthwatering salmon tarts....they were addictive! Been trying to duplicate her recipe since and never came close. This is close....so close my search is now over.

  3. These salmon tartlets are delicious. The dough has a great taste and texture. Even my son liked this recipe. He was glad to have that as his lunch. The filling is very easy to do. And they are so cute. Thanks Nikoma :) Made for PAC Spring 2012

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My rating system (Which I stole from HeatherFeather, I think she put it perfectly) -- 5 Stars: Outstanding,a special find that I will make over and over again. 4 Stars: Very good, something I highly recommend others to try, I would make this again, although I might make minor changes to suit my tastes. 3 Stars: Good, but not something I will make again often. Might need some slight changes, but in general the recipe works and others might enjoy this more than I did. 2 Stars: Fair, recipe did not work out well for me and I cannot recommend it. Not what I was expecting. 1 Star: Poor, recipe did not work at all and I would caution others to consider another recipe. ----------------------------- Well, obviously I love to cook since I'm here on Zaar! Besides that (in the food dept) I've got my hands in a little of everything. I do a lot of canning these days. As well as drying and freezing. I do a lot of berry picking in the summer as well as other wild foraging. I'm just learning, but I'm coming along fast. I love plants and botony so learning about local eatables and herbs has always been an interest. Plus home gardening ofcoarse :) But I don't have much room right now. I've just started experimenting with home brewing (trying some basic and easy wines and meads) Hopfully I'll eventually become adept at that and be the family's Merry maker lol Any tips are welcomed! Ideally I spend most of my time trekking around the woods and mountains here in PA looking for adventures and hidden treasures, old ruins, and historical trails. ( I may have an overactive imagination :). I love backpacking and camping. If there wasn't anyone around to drag me home I'd probably just disppear into the wilderness never to return. I have a major interest in Mythology and History (focusing mainly on Ancient Greece, but I'm enthralled by all ancient history and interested in anything up until the second half of the 20th century) I really enjoy learning the old ways of doing things. I'm definitely not suited to this cellphone infested, computer run, digitalized existence we're living, it all just hurts my head and makes me wonder if anyone has any original thought or imagination left. Halloween (Samhain) is another of my favorite things in the world. I wait for it all year and make a full week out of it. Building props and setting up yard displays keeps my head spinning strait through Sept and Oct. I admit I still go trick or treating some years. Other years I try to organize scavenger hunts or treasure hunts etc. Wish I could get more people interested though! Usually just 3 or 4 of us. I also do all the traditional things for a proper Pagan New Year so it's a very busy week! I love summer and I live for the heat. 90 degrees is when I feel the best. I hate the cold! Despite that Autumn is my favorite time of year though! Fairs, festivals (anyone who lives in PA knows we have some of the most crazy, odd and fun festivals!), Harvest feasts, Fall foraging and gathering, corn field fights, haunted hayrides, pumpkin patches, crafts, all the fresh veggies! The leaves ,the trees, the colors, dressing up, popcorn balls, candy apples, apple picking, apple cider, Mabon and Halloween, the smell of fires, and herbs.... I could go on and on here. My dream in life is basically to live off the grid. To own a large piece of land in the middle of nowhere surrounded by forest. Enough room to grow the majority of our own food ("our" is still up in the air) To have a little cabin, some chickens, a couple of horses, my cats and a barn big enough to accommodate a small wildlife rehab center (I'm hoping to become certified in the next couple of years. I've rambled on enough I think. I have a dreaded myspace page (link below) if anyone wants to know anything more. <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg">
