Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180*C/350*F

Taking a glass pie dish, put the butter into it and place it in the oven to melt. Swirl to coat the interior of pie dish and set aside.

Drain the juice from the salmon into a measuring beaker. Add milk to make up (1 cup).

Pick out any skin and bone from the salmon.

Mash well with a fork and then stir in the remainder of the ingredients.

Mix well together to combine.

Spoon into the butter coated pie dish and press down to smooth over the top.

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until golden brown. Cut into wedges to serve.
