This recipe can also be done with 2 sides of salmon though needs a proportional increase in ingredients for filling & covering
Ingredients
1 Large Rainbow Trout Filleted
2 tbs Zest Nepalese Spice Paste
1 Leek (just the white part) cut into 6cm strips
1 tsp butter
¼ cup flaked, toasted almonds
50g baby spinach
1 sheet Puff Pastry
Egg Wash
1 Egg Yolk mixed well with
2 tsp Milk
Method
Heat oven to 200°C.
Melt butter in a pan & slowly cook the leek until very soft, remove from excess butter & cool.
Lay out the sheet of pastry & arrange a thin mat of spinach leaves in the middle, large enough for one side of trout to sit on. Lay fish down on spinach & spread 1 tbs Zest Nepalese Spice Paste on upper side. Lay leeks on the flavoured side of the trout & sprinkle almonds on top.
Spread 1tbs paste on the other fillet & sandwich on top, paste inside. Cover the fish sandwich with another thin layer of spinach. Fold over the pastry to create a neat parcel, well sealed with egg wash.
Turn over the parcel & place on a baking tray. Score the top of the pastry with 3 slashes, egg wash & bake for 15 minutes or until pastry is golden.
Rest for 5 minutes then serve.
