To make the salmon en croûte
- Take the pastry out of the fridge.
- Heat the oven to 200°C.
- Top and tail the leek(s). Slice the leek(s) lengthways and then each half lengthways again, and then into slices.
- Melt a knob of butter in a saucepan, over a low to medium heat, being careful not to burn the butter.
- Sauté the leeks in the butter until soft. Season with pepper and put to one side to cool.
- Debone and skin the salmon fillets.
- Grease a baking tray.
- Cut the pastry into quarters.
- Roll each quarter to approx 22 x 17 cm.
- Lay a salmon fillet in the middle of one of the pastry oblongs.
- Stir 1-2 tablespoons of finely chopped dill into the leeks and then spoon onto the top of the salmon fillet (as per image).
- Beat the egg.
- Fold one long side of the pastry over the salmon and leek, then brush the edge with egg. Now fold over the other long side and 'stick' the pastry.
- Egg wash the short ends of the pastry parcel and fold over to seal the pastry.
- Place on the baking tray and repeat with the other salmon fillets.
- Egg wash the salmon parcels and place in the hot oven for 30 minutes, until golden brown.
To make the dressing:
- Place all the dressing ingredients into a jug and mix well to combine.
