Salmon and broccoli quiche is not a revolutionary idea but I think that the flavour combinations work really well together.  This type of quiche is good hot or cold and would be ideal to eat as a light supper or lunch.  There is also a subtle flavour of lemon which complements the salmon nicely.

This quiche requires very little preparation and can be knocked up in less than 30 minutes.  It looks particularly appetising due to the different colours and tastes delicious.  I served it with a green salad with a lemon dressing and beetroot which worked really well, alternatively if time is not on your side then sweetcorn or peas would be equally as good!
