Instructions

Step 1: Make the Dough Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water one tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and cook for about 4–5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling In a mixing bowl, combine corn, tomatoes, shallot, garlic, olive oil, thyme, basil, salt, and pepper.

Step 3: Roll the Dough Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Assemble the Galette Spoon filling into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges over the filling. Brush crust with egg wash.

Step 5: Bake Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden brown and bubbling. Cool slightly before serving.
