Ingredients
20g picked weight dill
500g Staal Oak Roast Salmon
20g butter
150g prepared weight finely chopped shallot
Zest 1 unwaxed lemon
60g baby spinach
6 eggs
360g cream (weigh the cream)
180g whole milk (weight the milk)
Salt & pepper
Method
Blind bake pastry and make sure nicely coloured on base.
For the filling:
- Beat 6 eggs, 360g double cream and 180g whole milk. Season with salt and pepper
- Break up the salmon – not too small – into approx. 3cm pieces
- Chop 20g picked with dill – rough chop is fine
- Cook the shallot over low heat in the butter until very soft
- In base of tart scatter three quarters of the cooked shallot, baby spinach, dill and salmon. Finely zest 1 lemon evenly over the the filling
- Pour over most of the the egg mixture (leave room for the rest of the filling) and then scatter over the rest of the salmon, shallots and spinach and dill. Top with rest of mixture (or top up in oven if you prefer ). The aim is to have some of the salmon, dill and spinach showing – but not too much spinach as it can go too brown in the oven
- Bake at 160’c. The tart normally needs covering with foil after 30 mins
NB – if the tart is a little low you may need to add an extra egg, 60g extra cream and 30g extra milk.
