Sig's Salmon filled filo purse
- 6 tsp pesto of choice, I used a bought unusual kale and smoked ricotta pesto
- 100 grams whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 4 tbsp bought or homemade peri peri sauce
- 4 piece of fresh filet of salmon, each one about 170 grams ( other preferred fish can be used)
- 50 grams of garlic butter
- 12 sheets of filo pastry , cut into the largest square you can get out of each one
- First preheat the oven to 200 C , 400 F, GAS 6
- Mix the breadcrumbs with the pesto, zest and juice
- Melt the garlic butter.
- Then lay out one of the sheets , cut it into the largest square you can get , spread with some of the melted butter add a sheet of pastry that also has been squared ,butter it and then repeat one more time thus having three sheets on top of each other
- Rub the salmon generously with peri peri sauce , then put one piece of salmon onto the middle of the square , (if it is to big cut it in half and lay it side by side.
- Top,it with the bread crumb mix .
- Spread the top of the pastry with butter and twist the salmon and pesto filled filo pastry into a purse shape
- Brush with some more of the butter and set it on a baking tray .
- Event the same with the other salmon pieces until you have 4 parcels
- Remember to work pretty fast as filo pastry dries to very quick
- Bake for about 25th minutes until the pastry is golden brown , turn the temperature down if it browns to quick to 175C or cover with a little tinfoil
