Easy Christmas Salmon Recipes

Salmon: The CookbookThis is really easy and requires only 3 ingredients.

1 packet of puff pastry

1 pack of 250g (9oz) smoked salmon trimmings or slices

8 spring onions finely chopped.

Roll out the pastry and cut into 2 pieces to make it easier to work with. Place the smoked salmon all over the pastry and sprinkle with the chopped spring onions. Sprinkle with fresh ground black pepper. Starting from the long side roll up like a swiss roll. Using a sharp knife cut the rolls into fairly thin rounds of about 1/4" thick. Place onto greased baking trays and bake in a hot oven (200C) for around 15 - 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool before serving. They are also good for freezing, just thaw for around 3 hours. They'll also keep for about 1 week in an airtight container. This recipe is from Mary Berry At Home
