Ingredients

• 500 grams salmon fillet
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 500 milliliters chicken or fish stock
• 120 milliliters heavy cream
• 100 grams frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 puff pastry sheet, thawed
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon fillet on the sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Roast for 12-15 minutes, or until just cooked through. Remove and set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until softened.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the chicken or fish stock, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until thickened.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream, frozen peas, parsley, remaining salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 7

Flake the cooled salmon into bite-sized pieces and carefully fold it into the filling mixture. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 8

Transfer the filling to a 9-inch pie dish or individual ramekins. Roll out the puff pastry sheet and cut to fit the dish, leaving a slight overhang.

Step 9

Place the puff pastry over the dish, pressing the edges to seal, and trim any excess. Cut small slits in the top for steam to escape.

Step 10

Brush the pastry with the beaten egg to create a shiny, golden crust.

Step 11

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and deeply golden. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
