Salmon & Spinach Quiche Recipe

Written by Published on Updated on February 5, 2020 in Main dishes, Mediterranean cuisine

Heyy Foodie Friends,

Did anyone watch the Superbowl on Sunday?  Lately, it seems that Soccer is also called Football!!??  To be completely honest, I didn’t watch the game. I kinda am not a fan of either one of the teams. I am and always will be a Pittsburgh Steelers Fan. (staying true to the team hehehe)  If they are not playing then I’m not watching ahhahahha.  But I did watch the Half Time Show and I have to admit I loved it!!.  These two performers were amazing!!!   They definitely got me up on my feet and dancing to the rhythm. 

Coming from a Greek background let’s just say that I like getting up on those tables and definitely dancing the night awayyyy.  I am absolutely sure that those of you who have visited Greece have seen us on those tables doing the belly dancing thing!!  🙂

I am usually up early in the morning.  Early meaning means I am up at 5 am because my first lesson starts at 6 or 7.  But this morning was way too early, I just could not sleep.  When I was done eating breakfast, I decided to go ahead and prepare the recipe.  I had prepared the Spinach mixture a day in advance so I didn’t have to spend that much time in the Kitchen.  I thought just for a second to make my own homemade dough, but It was just way too early to be so I used Phyllo Dough Sheets instead.  

This was the first time I actually made this recipe with Phyllo Sheets. It turned out much better than I expected.  The lemon filling with the combination of the Salmon was scrumptious.  If you don’t like to eat Salmon you can always substitute the Salmon with Tuna. 

Have a nice day!!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
