The meat dish you describe sounds like Bobotie. It has ground meat, raisins, spicies, nuts and topped with an egg mixture. I have the recipes for both the beef and lamb one and a cornedbeef version.
I can post them tomorrow since the recipes are on my work computer.
Actually, here is the beef and lamb version (I'll post the other one later):

MEAT BOBOTIE
Boma
Animal Kingdom Lodge
YIELD: 10 servings
Ingredients:
2 pounds Ground Lamb, Beef or a mixture of both
1/2 pounds onion, large dice
1/8 cup rice wine vinegar
1/16 loaf white bread
1/16 gallon cream
1/16 pound sugar (add more as needed)
1/4 ounce cinnamon (adjust as needed)
1/8 pound almond or pumpkin seeds, sliced
1/16 pound seedless raisins
1/16 pound golden raisins
1/8 ounce curry powder (adjust as needed)
Topping
1/16 gallon Easy Eggs
1/16 gallon heavy cream/milk
Method:
Heat oil and caramelize the onions. Reduce heat and add dry spices. Mix well. Deglaze with rice wine vinegar. Add meat and continue to cook until meat is cooked through.
When the meat is done, drain 90% of the grease off. Then tear the bread into small pieces and add it as well as the cream to the meat mixture.
Add the sugar and mix well. Add a little bit of water if the mix looks too dry. Then add the raisins and almonds. Re-season and cool.
In a small container, place the bobotie mixture and top with the egg custard mix. Bake in the oven at 325º F until golden brown and cooked through.
my request for a salmon recipe was here at home before i was back from my last trip
