  Positively gorgeous! Once i had mastered the technique of wrapping the fish in filo it was a doddle. However i used at least triple the quantity of melted butter for brushing the filo. Overall a fantastic recipe!

  This is such a simple recipe but it looks really special and tastes lovely too. I have a garden littered with fresh leeks and this is a great way to use them up. I do like the garlic and chive cream cheese idea, might try that next time.

  I made this using 2 leeks , 3 sheets of filo pastry and 2 salmon fillets as well as the rest of the ingredients, I added a little spice to the mix, and made one parcel for two people. having read other comments i decided to make it smaller . It turned out really well and was delicious. It was just the right amount for us. I served it with some green veg. 4 stars as i thought that the ingredients needed adjusting.

  We really liked it but we weren't so keen on the leeks though.So we are going to do a experiment with it by putting broccoli instead of leeks. Eva and Archie Bryant aged 8 & 6

  Gorgeous recipe! Works really well with puff pastry too. And if you're short on pastry it also works as little tartlets :)

  Cooked as instructed and it was lovely! However next time i will add a little more seasoning. Used about 40g of butter to brush the layers of filo though

  This was lovely. I used olive oil instead of butter, half fat creme fraiche with garlic, dill and black pepper. I only used one leek and the parcels were still big. Very filling. DD doesn't like salmon so I made hers with a chicken breast. The pastry had holes in it but it looked fine when it was baked. Chicken and salmon were both tender. Oh, they did have soggy bottoms but think that's just me! I will just scrunch the pastry on top like a pie next time but I would be interested to know if anyone knows the remedy for that. Thanks

  Easy to make and looks impressive though the portion size was a little large for me personally but tasty none the less! Next time I'm considering little dim sum sized parcels for a starter!

  Super easy recipe and very tasty. I made this to the recipe with the exception of only 2 leeks. They were big ones, and there was plenty. 4 would have been far too much. I used sour cream. Served with salad, it was a perfect supper.

  Beaut! Made mine a student friendly version by using frozen salmon - just as good! Added a little fresh parsley to the leek mixture, and used light Philadelphia.

  Lovely surprise recipe. I wasn't expecting it to be as delish as it was. I, like others played around a little with it. Used only 2 leeks and that was enough, also added garlic boursin and ground a lot of fresh black pepper into it. Brushed olive oil over the filo instead of butter. The parcels are very generous but -somehow- we managed to empty our plates :))

  Made this tonight for our dinner.....only cooked 2 leeks as I'd read a few comments that 4 was far too much, 2 is ample, I even reduced the 2 salmon fillets to 1 and halved that. Used low fat cream cheese and it worked very well...wrapped it in puff pastry as I was out of filo..... lovely meal, hubby complimented me on another culinary success from G.F. will definitely be cooking this one again..and again.

  We had these for Christmas dinner. They were delicious and really easy to make and fancy enough for Christmas day - but they were absolutely HUGE! I will halve the amount of pastry and leeks next time, as I will definitely be making these scrumptious parcels again!

  I made these as wanted to use up a few filo pastry sheets from the day before. I had 3 sheets left so cut them in half to make 6 - they were fine but I feel that 4 layers of filo per parcel and square shape would be best. I used 2 leeks which were ample. The salmon parcels tasted delicious but next time I will use mascarpone or a cream cheese with garlic and herbs. There is definitely scope to make this a 5 star dish.

  Made this last night for me and my fiancé. It was very delicious but very large. I think next time I will half the pastry to make smaller parcels. But overall a lovely meal idea.
