Today is freezing in Melbourne. No not literally as 7c is not freezing. But I am particularly cold as my heating system has seized up and I am reduced to wearing ugg slippers to keep my feet warm. Faced with the chill, I guess that when I came to think about dinner I was always going to choose to cook something in the oven and let a little of its warmth permeate.
Yes salmon I had as the basis. On checking the fridge, zucchini, red pepper, coriander and spring onions emerge as the preferred candidates. A bit of garlic and ginger. Frozen puff pastry and M on the top. Perfect. So simple to do with an oven.
Ingredients
1/2 red capsicum
1/2 zucchini
1 spring onion
2 cloves garlic crushed
2 tsp crushed ginger root
Fresh coriander
300 gr skinless Tasmanian salmon
2 sheets frozen puff pastry
Poppy seed
Mode

Chop spring onion
Slice zucchini and red capsicum
Crush garlic and ginger
Chop coriander
Place one sheet of pastry in baking dish
Add salmon
Arrange vegetables around salmon

Cover with second sheet of pastry
Roll edges to seal
Add pastry forming an M for Maria
Sprinkle with poppy seeds
Bake in 180c oven for 45 minutes
i like the sound of your pie. i love salmon! what a shame it is just about impossible to buy pastry anymore. i guess i will just have to make my own:-)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you can’t get pastry! No problems in Melbourne for frozen sheets. We have issues with flour so making our own pastry not so easy. You are in WA?
