Step 2

Step 5

Use a dinner plate as a guide, cut four 21.5cm discs from the pastry.

Tips for selecting ingredients

When selecting the fish, make sure to choose a fresh, firm fillet.
For the prawns, look for ones that are pink and firm to the touch.

Ingredient substitutions

Instead of butter, use olive oil. The benefit of this substitution is that olive oil is a healthier option than butter, as it contains fewer saturated fats. It also adds a more subtle flavor to the dish.
Instead of snapper fish, use cod. The benefit of this substitution is that cod is a more sustainable fish than snapper, so it is a better choice for the environment. It also has a mild flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients.

Variations

Vegetarian Option Replace the fish, salmon and prawns with 1 cup of mixed roasted vegetables such as zucchini, eggplant, capsicum, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes. Increase the cayenne pepper to 1/4 teaspoon for extra flavour.

Serve with

Roasted Asparagus with Lemon: Roasted asparagus with lemon is the perfect accompaniment to this flavorful fish and prawn pasties dish. Asparagus is a great source of fiber and vitamin K, and the lemon adds a bright and zesty flavor to the dish. The combination of the two is sure to be a hit!

Garlic Roasted Potatoes: Garlic roasted potatoes are a great side dish to serve with this fish and prawn pasties recipe. The potatoes are roasted with garlic, olive oil, and herbs for a flavorful and comforting dish. The potatoes are a great source of fiber and vitamins, and the garlic adds a delicious depth of flavor.
