Ordering salmon pie in an American city (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

minneapolis

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'an american city' is the definition.
'Minneapolis' can be an answer for 'city' (Minneapolis is an example). I'm not certain of the 'an american' bit.

'ordering salmon pie in' is the wordplay.
'ordering' is an anagram indicator.
'salmon'+'pie'+'in'='salmonpiein'
'salmonpiein' anagrammed gives 'MINNEAPOLIS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for minneapolis that I've seen before include "Saint Paul's twin city" , "City in Minnesota" , "US city" .)
