Vincenzo’s Top Tips To Make Salmon
Drizzle it!
Make sure to drizzle some Extra Virgin Olive Oil at the top of the foil

Salmon tarts are pretty morsels of seafood and vegatable goodness! Smoked salmon wrapped in short crust pastry filled with cream cheese, sweet potato and zucchini are the perfect starter to kick off a delicious meal. You can also make a mini-version as a canape.
Vincenzo’s Top Tips To Make Salmon Tarts
Rectangular cut
Make sure you cut it to a rectangular strip of shortcrust pastry that has approx. 12cm wide in size.
Layers, layers!
Best is to layer a few thin strips of salmon on top of the vegetables and cheese spread.
Still BE careful
Add as many as you like to the tray BUT be careful they are not too close together or touching each other

Made the Salmon recipe with vegetables and herbs cooked in parchment for my wife’s 50th birthday party with 16 guests. Great idea as I served in the parchment which looked great. I did blanch the fennel and asparagus for a few minutes as i was not sure they would cook enough in 17 minutes which i used for the salmon. It worked out great!
That sounds like a fantastic way to celebrate your wife’s birthday! Serving the salmon and vegetables in parchment adds a beautiful touch to the presentation. I’m glad to hear that blanching the fennel and asparagus worked out well and that the salmon was cooked perfectly in 17 minutes.
