Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Par-boil the potato slices for 2-3 mins. Drain and set aside in a large bowl.
  2. Gently fry the onion in the oil for 10 mins until lightly golden. Cool slightly, then stir in the cream, crème fraîche, herbs, zest and plenty of seasoning. Pour over the potatoes and mix very gently.
  3. Roll out one pack of pastry on a lightly floured surface to a 35 x 35cm, then lay on a large baking sheet. Pack ¼ of the potato mixture down one side of the pastry, leaving a 5cm border. Arrange ½ of the salmon on top to cover the potato. Cover the salmon with ¼ of the potato. Brush the pastry all the way round with beaten egg and fold over the pastry. Trim the edges and crimp with your fingers, or seal with a fork. Make decorative fish for the top, if you like.
  4. Roll out the remaining pastry and repeat the process, using up the rest of the potato and salmon. Chill for 30 mins.
  5. Brush the pastries all over with beaten egg. Bake for 40 mins. Leave to rest for 10 mins if serving hot, or serve cold.

    Excellent. Used less pastry 275g each piece. Would comfortably feed eight. Found the description of where to put the salmon confusing, so just put a layer all over half of each sheet.

    it was lovely; I was not so comfortable with pastry, but this was a breeze. I added a spoon of mustard to the dressing and it added zest to the flavour.

    I used half the ingredients and made only one for our Christmas Eve dinner. I didn't have any dill or parsley so added some wilted spinach. Went very well with the salad in the photo. Both were loved by everyone in the family.

    I haven't made it yet. It just sounds delicious. I live in Thailand for 4 months of the year and I must wait until I get home to do some cooking. Then I will write back with my comments. I can't see how it couldn't be good, but I think a lot will depend onn the seasoing, herbs etc.
