Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Tray
  • 2 Mixing Bowls
  • Brush
  • Spatula
  • Grater
  • Knife
  • Rolling Pin

Ingredients
  

  • 2.1 ounces Unsalted Butter
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • Olive Oil
  • 2 pounds Salmon (skinned)
  • 1.7 ounce Short Crust Pastry
  • 1 Lemon (zest)
  • ¼ cup Plain Flour (to dust)
  • ¼ teaspoon Basil Leaves (minced)
  • ¼ teaspoon Dill Leaves (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon Wholegrain Mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon Sea Salt (to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon Pepper (to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Roll the pastry as thin as a coin and set it aside. Now add butter, dill leaves, and roughly chopped basil into a large bowl.
  • Zest a lemon over them, add salt and pepper and mix them well until combined into herb butter.
  • Pat the salmon dry and rub salt and pepper all over it. Spread herb butter on one side of the salmon fillet.
  • Spread the mustard evenly over one side of another fillet. Place that fillet on with the mustard-seasoned side down over the first salmon.
  • Put this salmon in the center of the pastry and brush egg on the surrounding pastry.
  • Now, trim the excess pastry and fold it into a neat salmon parcel. Carefully turn it over to have the seam underneath.
  • Place it on a baking tray. Brush a beaten egg all over it and score it lightly in a cross-hatched pattern.
  • Season it with salt and pepper. Cover it and keep it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
  • Bake this salmon parcel for about 25 minutes in a preheated oven (400 F) until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
  • Let it rest for 5 minutes and then cut the slices and serve with hollandaise sauce, potatoes, or minted peas.
