Resting: remove quiche and let rest in pan for 10 min before slicing.
- Drain spinach well after cooking to avoid a watery quiche. For speed, wring it out in a clean cloth.
- Use good quality fresh salmon; it will cook in the oven and stay tender without pre-cooking.
- For a crispier crust, blind-bake the pastry for 10 min at 180°C (350°F) with parchment paper and baking weights.
- Doneness test: insert a knife in the center; it should come out clean.
- Serve warm with a green salad and lemon vinaigrette. Pair with a dry white wine like Sancerre.
