Instructions
Step 1
Begin by cutting the red fish into random squares. You can choose your favorite type of red fish for this recipe, such as salmon or trout.
Next, slice the zucchini into wedges. Heat some vegetable oil in a pan and fry the zucchini slices on both sides until they achieve a beautiful golden color. This will enhance their flavor.
Step 2
Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface until it is about 0.5 centimeters thick. Transfer the pastry into a 24 cm (9.5 inches) pie dish, ensuring that it covers the bottom and sides.
Press the edges down gently and use a fork to poke holes in the base of the pastry. This will help prevent our pie from puffing up too much while baking.
Step 3
If desired, sprinkle a thin layer of cheese at the bottom of the pastry to add flavor. Lay down the prepared squares of fish evenly over the cheese.
Next, add the fried zucchini on top of the fish layer, followed by more cheese if you prefer. This layering creates a delicious combination of tastes.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream or cream with eggs and a pinch of salt. Whisk everything together until smooth and well combined.
Pour this custard mixture evenly over the layered filling in the pie dish. This will bind all the ingredients together as it bakes.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Place the pie in the oven and bake for about 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Once done, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. This will help the pie set and make it easier to slice.
Step 6
Slice the pie into wedges and serve it warm. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors in every bite!
Not only is this pie delicious, but it also makes a great addition to your lunch or dinner table.
Servings
When your savory pie is out of the oven and slightly cooled, I recommend cutting it into generous slices and serving it with a simple green salad for a delightful lunch or dinner. 🥗✨ You could also pair it with a dollop of sour cream or a tangy yogurt dressing to enhance those vibrant flavors even further. Want to wow your guests? Serve with a glass of chilled white wine, and watch them delight in your culinary creation! 🍷
For those cozy evenings, enjoy each slice alongside a warm bowl of soup — it's the perfect comfort food combo! 😍❤️ Don't forget to sprinkle some fresh herbs on top for that extra pop of color and flavor. Your guests will absolutely love this twist!
Equipment
This is essential for shaping your savory pie. Make sure it's deep enough to hold all the delicious filling!
A non-stick pan works best for frying the zucchini until it’s golden brown. Remember to allow it to cool before adding it to your pie!
Use a rolling pin to flatten the puff pastry evenly. This will ensure a perfectly baked crust that’s light and crispy.

Variations
Don’t worry if you have dietary preferences; this recipe can easily be adapted! For a gluten-free version, simply swap out regular puff pastry for a gluten-free option, available at most supermarkets. Just ensure the thickness is consistent for even baking! 🌾🚫
If you're looking for a vegan twist, you can substitute the eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water and use a dairy-free cream alternative. Replace the cheese with a plant-based cheese or nutritional yeast for that cheesy flavor. Your friends won't even miss the dairy! 🌱🥑 Embrace these variations and enjoy this delicious pie any day of the week!
Faq
- Can I use different types of fish for this recipe?
Absolutely! While red fish gives a rich flavor, you can use any firm fish like salmon or trout. Just adjust the cooking times if needed!
- What if I don’t have puff pastry?
You can use shortcrust pastry as an alternative, but the texture will be a little denser. Try using store-bought for convenience!
- How do I prevent the bottom of my pie from getting soggy?
Make sure to pre-bake the crust for a few minutes before adding the filling. You can also sprinkle some cheese on the bottom to absorb moisture.
- Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare it in advance and store it in the fridge before baking. Just bake it when you’re ready for a warm treat!
- Will the filling stay intact when I slice the pie?
As long as you let it cool slightly before cutting, the filling should hold together nicely. Just handle it gently!
- Can I freeze leftovers?
Definitely! Just let the pie cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. It can be frozen for a couple of months. Reheat in the oven for the best results!
