  This was quick and easy to make and made a very good dinner. Served with new potatoes and broccoli. The creme fraiche made a lovely sauce.

  This was lovely and I have loads just sitting in the freezer, waiting to be used up. I added a spoonfull of pesto to the parcels and then made a sauce with some creme fraiche & pesto - delicious!

  Delicious and crisps up really well in the oven. I made lots and have just kept them in the freezer for use when needed. Made a salad of watercress, spinach and asparagus to have with it and potatoes and it worked a treat.

  I liked the texture but found that it needs a stronger flavour so will try it with the pesto next time as suggested

  Made this for the first time tonight. Had problems sourcing fill pastry so used readymade shortcrust instead. They were really quick and easy to assemble, cooked in 25 mins, and tasted absolutely delicious. I served it with new potatoes and broccoli as suggested, it made a lovely meal. My husband suggested it might be improved with a sauce for the veg. Overall I would rate this recipe really highly, and will definitely be making it again - very soon!!!!!

  I made these parcels as a starter so made them into a fat sausage shape and cut them in half. I served them with salad and they were divine. I would suggest using more filo pastry as the filling is quite heavy and also 900g of salmon seemed excessive so I used about 600-700g and they were perfect. I still have two in the freezer for another day.
