Using a whisk or electric mixer, cream together the soft butter, sugar, and salt until smooth.
Add the egg and mix well. Add the almond powder and finish with the flour (avoid over-mixing when adding the flour).
Form 2 discs of dough. Store one disc of dough in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Freeze the other for future use, if desired.
Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3 mm (1/8 inch) on a floured work surface.
Line a 20 cm (8 inches) removable pie pan with the dough, spreading it out well.
If the dough breaks, crush it with your fingers to repair it. With a knife, cut off the excess dough on the edge. Refrigerate the dough again for another hour.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Prick the bottom of the pie with a fork. Place a circle of crumpled parchment paper and add baking peas to prevent the pastry from shrinking too much. Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove paper and peas and continue baking for 5 to 10 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Allow crust to cool before garnishing.
For the garnishing:
In a saucepan, heat the cream and orange juice, pour over the chocolate and mix the ganache well. Add the zest and butter. Mix well.
Spread the jam in the bottom of the crust, then pour the ganache.
Let the ganache set in the open air for 2 hours to keep the chocolate shiny.
Garnish the pie with strawberries and icing sugar.
