Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.

  • Trim the salmon into a 27.5cm x 7.5cm rectangle.
  • Purée the salmon trimmings and egg whites in a food processor then blend with 50ml cream and seasoning.
  • Spread the salmon purée onto the smaller pastry piece and top with langoustines and seasoning.
  • Layer spinach and the salmon piece on top, cover with the larger pastry, crimp edges, and brush with egg yolks.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and rest for five minutes.
  • Sauté butter, onion, carrots, fennel, and thyme until softened.
  • Stir in langoustine shells, cayenne, and tomato purée then reduce the white wine by half.
