Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan with one pie crust. Set second pie crust aside.
  2. 2 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool, and chop.
  3. 3 In a medium saucepan, cook onions, garlic, and butter over medium heat until onions become transparent.
  4. 4 Add onion mixture, salmon, and thyme to cooked potatoes. Mash all together with milk, adding just enough to bring about a mashed potato consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Spread evenly into the bottom pie crust.
  5. 5 Place second pie crust over top of salmon mixture. Cut slits into top crust, then pinch edges of both crusts together. Bake on lower rack of oven for 45 minutes.
