method

Let’s make something delicious

  • Step one

    Preheat the oven to 200C / 390f / Gas Mark 6. In a heavy based pan, melt a knob of the butter a gently sauté the leek for around 5 minutes. Once soft and translucent, add the garlic and cook for a further 1-2 minutes. Set aside.

  • Step two

    In a small saucepan, make the white sauce. Heat the stock and cream over a low heat until simmering, then remove from the heat. In a separate pan, melt the butter over a low-medium heat, then whisk in the flour until it forms a smooth paste. Add the stock a little at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Once all the stock has been added, continue to whisk over the heat for around 5 minutes, until the sauce is smooth and thickens. Season well, then stir through the herbs, mustard, lemon zest and peas.

  • Step three

    Spread the leeks over the base of an ovenproof dish and top with flakes of the salmon. Pour the white sauce over the top.

  • Step four

    To create the filo crust, lay a sheet of the filo on a board and brush lightly with butter. Top with the second sheet, pressing gently together, then slice into squares of approx 5cm. To assemble, gently scrunch a square of the pastry and place on top of the pie. Repeat, placing them snugly together until covered.

  • Step five

    Cook the pie in the oven for 15 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling, the salmon is piping hot and the filo is crisp and golden. Serve hot with buttery potatoes or a fresh salad.
