Smoked Salmon Tart, Any ideas on how to make this better?


Ingredients:

Tart Crust:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup ice water

Filling:

  • 1 pound smoked salmon, flaked
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 large egg yolk

Instructions:

To make the tart crust:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.
  2. Add the butter pieces and use your fingers to work them into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  4. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

To make the filling:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the smoked salmon, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, dill, chives, salt, and pepper.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg yolk.
  3. Add the egg mixture to the smoked salmon mixture and stir to combine.

To assemble the tart:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the tart dough to a 12-inch circle.
  3. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom and trim the edges.
  4. Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork.
  5. Spread the smoked salmon filling evenly over the tart crust.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
  7. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Tips for making it better:

  • Use high-quality smoked salmon. The flavor of the salmon will greatly impact the overall taste of the tart.
  • Add other herbs or spices to the filling. For example, you could add a teaspoon of dried thyme or rosemary, or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Top the tart with a dollop of crème fraîche or sour cream. This will add a touch of richness and creaminess.
  • Garnish the tart with fresh dill or chives. This will add a pop of color and freshness.
  • Serve the tart with a side salad. A green salad with a light vinaigrette would be a good accompaniment.
