If we travel in the Wayback Machine*, we might recall we were treated to a lot of nonsense in the 1980s.

Chief was a best-seller titled “Real Men Don’t Eat Quiche,” which satirized stereotypes of masculinity. The problem was, some didn’t quite get the satire, and they really thought that manly men didn’t eat egg and bacon pie because it wasn’t…manly.

Pshaw. Manly men have always eaten savory pies, and whether you Frenchify it and call it quiche, or just call it a lunch pie, it’s a darn fine meal, and that’s all there is to it. Slap some salad alongside, and you can call me or my husband for lunch or dinner, anytime.

Salmon Quiche with Preserved Lemon on Shockingly Delicious. Recipe: https://www.shockinglydelicious.com/?p=11375I have updated the version we used to make in the 1980s to include salmon instead of bacon, leftover veggies from the night before, and a bright spark from preserved lemon. If you have never made or used preserved lemon before, you are in for a treat! It’s also called lemon pickle.

I like to think that in today’s world, these changes make it even more manly. Or womanly. Or whatever “ly” you need it to be. How about deliciously satisfying?

Recipe: Salmon Quiche with Preserved Lemon

Summary: A ready-made crust, some canned wild salmon and a few veggies leftover from last night’s dinner make an easy, perfect savory pie, sparked by salty preserved lemon. Brunch or lunch, anyone?

Ingredients

  • Pillsbury Pie Crusts1 (10-inch) ready made pie crust (Pillsbury Pie Crust is perfect)
  • 2 (6-ounce) cans skinless, boneless wild salmon (Bear & Wolf Skinless & Boneless Pink Salmon from Costco is wild caught and dandy!)
  • 1/2-3/4 cup diced onion
  • 1 cup chopped steamed broccoli
  • 1 cup chopped roasted Idaho potato
  • 3 ounces (3/4 cup) shredded cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 teaspoons minced preserved lemon rind
  • ½ teaspoon dried dill
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Grinding of fresh pepper
  • Garnish: a couple of strips of preserved lemon rind, if you wish

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 375F. Fit crust into 10-inch pie plate and crimp the top edge.
  2. To the raw pie shell, add the drained salmon, onion, broccoli, potato and cheese.
  3. In a 2-cup measure, add all remaining ingredients (milk through pepper), and whisk to combine. Pour over ingredients in pie shell.
  4. Bake for 50-60 minutes. Remove from oven, cool 5 minutes, cut and garnish with strips of preserved lemon rind, if you like.
  5. Serves 6 as a main dish.

*Rocky and BullwinkleWhat is the Wayback Machine?

“The name Wayback Machine is a reference to a segment from ‘The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show’ (1959-1964) in which Mr. Peabody and Sherman use a time machine called the ‘WABAC machine’ (pronounced ‘Wayback’) to witness, participate in, and, more often than not, alter famous events in history.” This, from Wikipedia, the new source of all knowledge in the universe.

Preserved Lemons

These are absolutely worth your while to make. Check out the recipe here, for the homemade version. Or buy a jar in a Middle Eastern market (much more expensive).

I’ve never had salmon in a quiche before, but it definitely sounds delicious! Love the addition of preserved lemons…

I’m happy to see a recipe with canned salmon. I tried some for the first time for my Salmon In the Company of Good Oranges but was not impressed–I preferred a fillet. I’ll check out Bear & Wolf at my next Costco run!
Thanks!
