2 sheets of filo pastry


8 sun-blushed tomatoes


2 eggs, beaten


55g/2oz hot-smoked salmon flakes (salmon that's been 'cooked' by smoking at a high temperature)


To serve


tub of cr猫me fra卯che


1 tbsp thyme leaves, chopped


1 lemon, zest and juice only

3. Place a sun-blushed tomato on each of eight pastry squares and divide the salmon up among them. Brush the edges with egg wash and press the remaining squares on top. Press together and brush each with the remaining egg wash.


4. Place on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown.


5. Mix the cr猫me fra卯che, thyme and lemon zest and juice in a bowl to combine.


6. To serve, transfer the ravioli onto serving plates and spoon the lemon dip alongside.





OR Highland Pasta with Smoked Salmon


Ingredients


4 oz (110 g) pasta


8 oz (225 g) smoked salmon


1 oz (25 g) butter


1 medium onion, finely chopped


1 clove garlic, crushed with 1 teaspoon salt


4 oz (110 g) chestnut mushrooms, thinly sliced


1 level teaspoon mild curry powder


1 level tablespoon plain flour


5 fl oz (150 ml) white wine


2 level tablespoons cr猫me fra卯che





Begin by melting the butter in a solid-based frying pan, then add the onion and saut茅 over a low heat until soft. This will take about 7 minutes. Now add the crushed garlic and mushrooms and continue to cook for a further 2-3 minutes. Next mix the curry powder and flour together and stir these into the butter to soak up all the juices. Then add the wine gradually, stirring briskly after each addition and, when all the wine is added, cook for a further 3 minutes before finally adding the cr猫me fra卯che.





The sauce is now ready and can be made up to this stage in advance, but lay a piece of clingfilm over the surface if you're not using it immediately. When you're ready to cook the pasta place a large saucepan with plenty of lightly salted water on to boil and cook the pasta for 10 minutes or until it is cooked to your liking, but still retains some bite.





Meanwhile, tear little pieces of smoked salmon lengthways into strips, then reheat the sauce and add the salmon at the very last minute, just before serving.





Now drain the pasta, return it to the pan, then quickly stir in the sauce and smoked salmon and serve at once in deep heated bowls.





or Smoked Salmon Tart


Ingredients


For the filling:





9 oz (250 g) smoked salmon trimmings


2 large eggs, plus 1 extra yolk, beaten


1 x 200 ml tub cr猫me fra卯che


freshly grated nutmeg


pinch cayenne pepper


freshly milled black pepper





For the Parmesan pastry:


4 oz (110 g) plain flour


pinch salt


1 oz (25 g) lard, at room temperature


1 oz (25 g) butter, at room temperature


1 oz (25 g) Parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano), finely grated


Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 5, 375掳F (190掳C), with the baking sheet on the centre shelf.





You will also need a 9陆 inch (24 cm) loose-bottomed quiche tin, 1 inch (2 cm) deep, lightly greased, and a solid baking sheet.





To make the pastry, sift the flour with a pinch of salt into a large bowl, holding the sieve up high to give the flour a good airing. Then add the lard and butter and, using only your fingertips, lightly and gently rub the fat into the flour, again lifting the mixture up high all the time to give it a good airing.





When everything is crumbly, add the Parmesan and then sprinkle in some cold water 鈥?about 1 tablespoon. Start to mix the pastry with a knife and then finish off with your hands, adding more drops of water till you have a smooth dough that will leave the bowl clean. Then pop it into a polythene bag and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.





After that, roll the pastry out into a circle about 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter, then transfer it, rolling it over the pin, to the tin. Press lightly and firmly over the base and sides of the tin, pushing up the sides to come about 录 inch (5 mm) above the rim of the tin all round. Now prick the base all over with a fork, then brush with some of the beaten egg for the filling. Place the tin on the pre-heated baking sheet and bake it for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is crisp and golden. Check halfway through the cooking time to make sure the pastry isn't rising up in the centre. If it is, just prick it a couple of times and press it back down with your hands.





When the pastry case is cooked, remove it from the oven and reduce the heat to gas mark 4, 350掳F (180掳C). Now arrange the smoked salmon trimmings over the base of the tart. Then, in a jug, mix the eggs with the cr猫me fra卯che and season with freshly milled black pepper and a little freshly grated nutmeg, but don't put any salt in it as the smoked salmon is already quite salty.





Now pop the tart back on the half-pulled-out oven shelf, then pour in the egg mixture and sprinkle with the cayenne pepper. Bake it for 30-35 minutes until the centre is just set and the surface is puffy and a light golden brown colour, then remove it from the oven and let it settle for about 10 minutes before serving. Remove it from the tin by placing it in on an upturned jar, which will allow you to ease the sides away. Using a palette knife or a fish slice, slide it underneath and ease the tart carefully on to a plate or board, ready to serve.

an easy one would be toasted bagles with some philidephia and place the smoked salmon on top- my favourite foods all in one!
With cream cheese in bagels already
classic is scrambled eggs with smoked salmon on the side, with thin slices of toast.


Good breakfast dish as well.
Smoked slamon strips in scrambled eggs is nice.


Especially if it's on good toasted bread and you can add in a posh vegetable for extra oomph, such as aspargus tips.
My favourite is good ole fashioned scrambled eggs with very thin (reslice sliced bread) and toast topped with dill and freshly ground black pepper.





Of course bagels with cream cheese (don't want to promote a brand) makes a great snack. If taking the healthy option have sliced carrot and apples on the side.
