  Really tasty but I'm not sure what I did wrong - while the top of the pastry was lovely and crispy, the bottom was completely soggy and dropped into a big pile of mush as I lifted it off the tray. Any suggestions welcome! Thanks!

  I'm not a lover of filo pastry - but apart from that, I love the sound of this recipe. So I'm wondering about a potato'n'salad onion mash to make a pie topping?

  Loved this recipe, so easy and delicious. I made it with 1 leek per person though and used 'Philadelphia low fat with herbs'. Will definitely be making this on a regular basis, have already made it 3 times!

  This is perfect for a romantic 'candle-light' supper! I folded the ends of the parcels differently the second time to prevent them frazzling, and I used a cocktail stick to secure the ends.

  OMG! This truly, truly, is an awesomely gorgeous dish. It is just SO easy to prepare and the results are to die for. I made it exactly as the recipe, just scaled it up for three people. This is definitely one that will re-appear whenever Salmon is on special offer!

  I made these tonight. SO EASY. I had never used Filo pastry so I watched the video (helpful) and they turned out great. Mind you 4 leeks is a lot. I made 4 parcels and cooked 4 leeks and still didn't use all the mixture - which was OK as I served it as a sauce. Does anyone know if you can make them in advance or even freeze them? I will just have to try.

  My OH (who doesn't like salmon) really liked these but I was less impressed - 4 leeks were far too many. I didn't use all the mixture but the salmon still seemed lost under the mound of leeks & pastry, and even OH thought the portion was way too big. I'll try it again using low fat philly as suggested previously and 1 or 2 leeks.

  We love this recipe. The portions are huge we served it with potatoes and salad and struggled to eat it all. If we were to do it again we would just have the parcels by themselves or maybe serve it with some salad. The creamy leeks inside, as someone has already said can be easily used with other things and they certainly make this meal.

  This was great. Served with just a salad, as suggested above and this was plenty. The parcel does end up quite large. 2 leeks was sufficient. My first experience with filo pastry and it wasn't at all scary!

  Absolulty loved this dish definatly would only recomend using 2 leeks though. It was easy to do and only requires a salad on the side and it makes a filling tasty dinner. Loved the Leeks so much I now cook these on their own as a jacket potato filling!

  This is one of my favourite recipes for salmon! The parcels look really impressive - quite filling though! I used half crème fraiche and half marscapone and also chopped some chives into the mix.

  For a low calorie version leave off the pastry and use low fat cream cheese, wrap in foil and bake. Absolutely lovely served with a green salad. - but I will try the pastry version later!

  I was cooking for 6, so I upped the ingredients, chopped the raw salmon into chunks, added some raw king prawns and put it all in a large dish then topped it with a sheet of bought puff pastry and baked until the pastry was done; it was very tasty, not quite as good as a real fish pie, but so easy when you've got people coming over and no time to do anything; I took people's advice and used garlic and herb cream cheese. I have used low fat cheese each time with no problem (but I do add a bit of plain flour as you would to a low fat cheesecake, not sure if it needs this, but daren't leave it out!). If you do it this way though then drain the leeks thoroughly after cooking and squeeze any water out of the prawns (especially if previously frozen) as otherwise there is a lot of water in the bottom of the pie, I always find too that I need at least one extra tub of cream cheese to coat the mixture (good job it's low fat!)

  Oh, I have also made it with chicken (cut into chunks) and smoked bacon, I did seal the chicken first, and it was perfectly cooked by the time the pastry was done
