Recipe for "salmon-pie"

NAME

     SALMON-PIE - A salmon and  cheese  pie  flavored  with  sour
     cream
     This is a country cousin to the quiche-even  real  men  will
     eat  it.   My  mother says this is called ``country'' salmon
     pie because it uses canned salmon, which is  the  only  kind
     you can catch out in the country.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 8)

          PARMESAN CRUST
