A simple salmon quiche is an elegant dish of French cuisine that combines the tenderness of the pastry with the rich flavor of salmon. Its roots trace back to the tradition of making quiche popular in the Lorraine region, where such pies often adorned aristocratic tables. The thin crumbly pastry pairs wonderfully with the softness of the fish, caramelized onions, and the zestiness of cheese, creating a harmonious ensemble of flavors. Salmon quiche is easy to prepare and makes an ideal option for a cozy family dinner or an exquisite breakfast. It is delicious both hot and chilled, retaining its juiciness and rich aroma. This pie can be served with a fresh green salad and white wine to enhance its gastronomic appeal.
