Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 210°C and line a baking tray.
  • Roll pastry to 5mm thickness and cut into two 40 x 25cm pieces.
  • Place 800g of salmon on one pastry sheet and cover with half the spinach.
  • Blend remaining 400g of salmon with double cream and half the chives into a purée.
  • Season the purée and spread it over the spinach.
  • Top with remaining chives, spinach, and brush pastry edges with egg.
  • Place the second pastry sheet over the salmon and seal the edges firmly.
  • Trim excess pastry, brush the entire parcel with egg, and season.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes until the pastry is golden and salmon is cooked.
  • Toss vegetables with olive oil and seasoning, then roast for 25-35 minutes.
  • Boil shallots, vinegar, and wine until only 2 tablespoons remain.
  • Add 1 tablespoon water and simmer until 1 tablespoon remains.
  • Gradually whisk in butter cubes on low heat until emulsified.
  • Strain the sauce, stir in chives, and season.
