Salmon Pie/Flan : The Low Carb Way

This low-carb pie, some may call it a flan, is the perfect all-in-one dish. It is quite filling and full of tasty surprises ... the picture shows it here with smoked salmon and a lot of fresh dill. However, you can of course use cured, boiled or grilled salmon. In fact, use what you like and have on hand, but remember to adjust the salt and spices accordingly. Another good thing is that this pie freezes well.

Did you know ... The history of flan begins with the ancient Romans. Eggs figured prominently in many Roman recipes. The flan prepared by the ancient Romans was quite different from the food eaten today. It was often served as a savoury dish, as in "eel flan", although sweet flans, made with honey and pepper, were also enjoyed. When the Romans conquered Europe, they brought their culinary traditions, including the flan, with them.

In the Middle Ages, both sweet and savoury flans (almonds, cinnamon and sugar; cheese, curd, spinach, fish) were very popular in Europe, especially during Lent, when meat was forbidden.
