Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 220 C or 200 C fan-forced.
Step 2

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook leek and celery, covered, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until softened (but not coloured). Sprinkle with flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in Massel Liquid Stock Chicken Style and cream until smooth. Add salmon, peas, cheddar, tarragon and rind and stir to combine. Season. Spoon into a 1L (4 cup) pie dish.
