Method

  • step 1

    Cook the broccoli in lots of boiling water until tender. Drain and rinse in cold water until cool. Drain well and set aside. In a mini chopper or food processor, blitz the watercress and crème fraîche with some seasoning.

  • step 2

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Unroll the pastry sheets. Place one on a baking sheet. Cut out a 2cm-wide border from the second sheet, like a picture frame, and stick this onto the first sheet with some of the beaten egg. Prick the base all over with a fork. Bake for 10 mins until golden.

  • step 3

    Cut remaining pastry into 2cm wide strips. Spread on the crème fraîche, scatter with the flaked salmon, broccoli and seasoning, and top with the strips of pastry to make a lattice.

  • step 4

    Brush with beaten egg and cook for 20-25 mins until pastry is golden and cooked through and the filling is hot. Serve with green beans.

Tried this after a friend made it for lunch. I added a generous handful of spinach, some garlic and some chives to the sauce after reviews of it being a bit bland and it was very tasty. Will definitely make it again.

Afraid that we found this totally underwhelming. Broccoli was the overriding flavour and the sauce was almost dry tasting and a little bitter. Won’t be making again.

We loved this recipe, had not seen the comment below first but a squeeze of lemon next time would be a nice addition. We used a pack of hot smoked salmon which worked very well. We also added some extra watercress sauce to our meal. Will make again.

Quick, easy and tasty. As others have said, it's just as easy to poach your own salmon (microwave in clingfilm for 3 mins).

I didn't want to use two rolls of pastry so cooked it as a tray bake. I mixed garlic puree, mixed herbs and plenty of black pepper into the creme fraiche instead of using watercress. It was really flavoursome. Finished off before cooking with juice of half a lemon and a drizzle of olive oil.
