Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200⁰C (fan bake).

Step 2

In a large saucepan over medium heat add the butter. Cook leek and celery, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes until soft. Sprinkle flour over the cooked vegetables and stir for 1 minute. Stir in chicken stock and cream until smooth. Then add salmon, peas, cheese, dill and lemon zest and stir to combine until slightly thickened.

Step 3

Spoon mixture into baking dish. Place the puff pastry over the pie dish over lapping if necessary to cover the top and press sides down with a fork. Decorate the top with leftover pastry if you like.

Step 4

Brush the top with egg and place into the oven and bake for 30 minute or until pastry is golden brown.

Note

A great side dish paring is sautéed asparagus, bacon, roasted cherry tomatoes sprinkled with toasted sliced almonds.
