- Combine beaten eggs, milk, melted butter, chopped onion, minced parsley, basil, and salt in a bowl.
- Break the salmon into chunks, removing bones and skin, then stir into the egg mixture.
- Pour the mixture into a well-greased 8-inch pie plate.
- Prepare your own pie crust, roll it 1/8 inch thick, cut an 8-inch circle, then cut the circle into 6 wedges.
- Arrange the pie crust wedges on top of the salmon mixture.
- Bake in a 425°F oven for 25 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the egg mixture. If you don't have parsley, dill can be a great substitute. Also, feel free to use pre-made puff pastry instead of a pie crust for a flakier top, much like in recipes for Shrimp And Spinach Quiche.
