Salmon, Caper and Dill Phyllo Tarts

Every month we’re posting a mouth-watering recipe courtesy of Food & Home Entertaining magazine. The recipe we have chosen from the January issue is salmon, caper and dill phyllo tarts. This easy recipe serves 4 and only takes 20 mins to make.

Ingredients:

400g salmon fillets, steamed and flaked
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
45ml (3 tbsp) capers, finely chopped
20ml (4 tsp) fresh dill, finely chopped
50ml olive oil
rind and juice of 1 lemon
3 sheets of phyllo pastry, each cut into 12 small squares
30ml (2 tbsp) butter, melted
200ml crème fraîche

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. In a large bowl, combine the salmon, salt, pepper, capers, dill, oil, rind and juice and mix well.
3. Lightly grease a 12-hole muffin tin with butter and line each opening with a phyllo square. Brush the top of this with butter and repeat twice so that you have 3 layers of pastry.
4. Gently spoon in the salmon mixture and bake until the pastry is golden, about 5 minutes.
5. Serve the tarts with crème fraîche.
