Instructions

1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

b) Remove the puff pastry from your fridge and allow to come up to room temperature.

2

a) Lay the salmon fillets, skin-side down, onto a lined baking tray. Season with salt and pepper. 

b) When the oven is hot, roast the salmon on the top shelf until cooked through, 10-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish. The fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.

3

a) Cut the pastry into 6 equal squares. Place 2 squares side-by-side on another lined baking tray and poke holes in them using a fork.

b) Leaving a 2cm border, cut the centre from the remaining 4 squares. These are your border pieces. TIP: Save the centre pieces for another recipe.

4

a) Brush a little water onto each border piece, then stack 2 border pieces on top of each pastry square on the lined baking tray, wet-side down, ensuring the edges and corners of each piece line up. These are your vol-au-vents!

b) Place the vol-au-vents onto the middle shelf of your oven until puffed and golden, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through cooking.

5

a) Meanwhile, finely chop the chives (use scissors if easier). 

b) Zest and cut the lemon into wedges.

c) Once the salmon is cooked, gently peel off and discard the skin. Using a fork, flake the fish into bite-sized pieces.

d) In a large bowl, combine the soured cream, cream cheese, three quarters of the chives, a pinch of lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice (use more if you prefer).

6

a) Gently stir the flaked salmon pieces through the chive soured cream mixture. Season with salt and pepper.

b) Once the vol-au-vents are baked, push down the centre with the back of a spoon, then allow them to cool slightly, 5 mins.

c) Place on your serving platter and divide the salmon mixture between the vol-au-vents.

d) Sprinkle over the remaining chives and another pinch of lemon zest. Finish with a crack of black pepper.

Enjoy!
