  • Step 5: Join pastry sheets together with edges, slightly overlapping and lift pastry into prepared tin and trim edges.

  • Step 6: Whisk eggs and flour in a medium bowl until smooth and stir in cream, leek and 1 tablespoon of the dill and pour into pastry case and sprinkle with salmon and remaining dill.

  • Step 7: Cook in a hot oven (200C) for about 30 minutes until puffed and golden and then let stand in tin for 15 minutes before removing and serve warm or cold garnished with fresh dill sprigs.
