Smoked Salmon Tart

thumbnail for this post

This was an excellent tea made by my girlfriend, well worth a write up. Pre-rolled pastry is a great shortcut to delicious dinners.

You will need

  • A pack of pre-rolled puff pastry
  • Half a large onion (finely sliced)
  • A pack of smoked salmon (great use of the cheap packs of offcuts)
  • Half a small tub of soft cheese
  • A big squeeze of lemon juice
  • A good scattering of capers
  • Egg if you’re bothered about glazing the edge
  • a slug of olive oil

Do

  • Softened the onions in a pan with the olive oil until translucent
  • Let them cool a bit
  • Add the soft cheese and lemon juice
  • Bake the pastry on a sheet at 180 for a few minutes
  • Pile it all into the middle of the pasty and spread towards the edges, leave as much crust as you’d like
  • Scatter with salmon and capers
  • Egg wash the crust if you’re into that sort of thing
  • Return to the oven and bake until the edges are golden and the topping has a hint of char

Result

I’m sure this was meant to feed six but we didn’t let that get in the way.
