Mini Salmon Pies

These are great to serve during a buffet party and I am sure your guests will love them.  They are quick to prepare and taste delicious.  One can also serve them with green salad as a simple light lunch.

Ingredients (yields 12 pcs):
200 g fresh or frozen salmon, to be cut into cubes
2 tbsp lemon juice
salt & ground white pepper to taste
200 ml fresh cream
2 eggs
a tsp chopped fresh dill or 1/2 tsp dried dill
a roll of fresh puff pastry or 6 pcs of frozen puff pastry, to be thawed
muffin tray, to be greased with butter

Method:
Sprinkle lemon juice over salmon cubes and season lightly with salt and pepper. Leave aside.  Preheat oven to 200° C (conventional) or 180°C (fan).

In a bowl, mix fresh cream, eggs and dill together.  Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Cut out 10 cm diameter circles on puff pastry and place them in the muffin tray.  Poke the base with a fork a few times.  Add 3 or 4 salmon cubes into each mould followed by the cream mixture as shown.

Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.  Once done, remove from oven and leave them for about 5 minutes before removing from muffins tray.  Serve with green salad.

Bon Appetit!
