Ingredients

Method

1

Pre heat the oven to 200C.

2

Line a large baking tray with greaseproof paper.

Melt the butter in a small saucepan on a medium heat then add the chopped shallot. Cook until soft then set aside to cool. Do not brown the shallot.

4

In a large saucepan, wilt the spinach and watercress on a medium heat with a couple of tablespoons of water. Run under cold water to stop the cooking process then place in a sieve over a bowl and squeeze out as much water as possible.

5

Blitz the spinach/watercress, butter and shallot, lemon zest and crème fraiche in a food processor for a couple of short bursts. Season to taste with salt, pepper and freshly grated nutmeg.

6

On a lightly floured surface, cut the pastry in half and roll out each piece to roughly the size of your piece of salmon adding an inch on all sides.

7

Place one piece of pastry on the baking tray, spoon the spinach mixture down the middle and place the salmon on top.

8

Brush the pastry around with a little bit of water then place the other piece of pastry on top.

9

Mould the pastry around the fish with your hands then press the edges with a fork to seal.

10

Make a couple of small scores on the top with a knife then brush over the beaten egg.

11

Place in the oven for 25mins until golden.
