SERVING SIZE:

2 – 4 people

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 ½ sheets Coles frozen puff pastry
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tub Zoosh Sour Cream & Chives dip
• 1 medium sized bulb fennel, finely sliced on a mandolin
• juice and zest of 1 lemon
• Sea salt and cracked black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Cobram Estate Classic EVOO, plus extra to serve
• 1 cup flat leaf parsley, leaves picked
• 185g packet Coles Tasmanian hot smoked salmon fillets, flaked
• 2 tablespoons dill, leaves picked
• 2 red radish, finely sliced on a mandolin and set in chilled water
• Coles Baking weights

METHOD:

• Pre heat oven to 200 degrees C.
• Place the whole sheet of puff pastry onto a lined oven tray. Cut the halved puff pastry sheet into 2cm wide strips. Place the strips around the edges of the of the whole pastry sheet to form a border. Use a small knife to score the outer pastry strips in a cross hatch pattern. Lightly brush the outer of the pastry with the egg. Weigh down the center of the pastry with baking paper and baking weights or beans. Bake the pastry for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
• Meanwhile, slice the fennel and radishes and set aside in iced cold water to remain fresh. Drain from the water when ready to use.
• Allow the pastry to cool before spreading the base with the sour cream dip.
• Toss the sliced fennel with the lemon zest, juice, EVOO and sea salt. Toss well to dress and toss through the parsley before arranging over the top of the tart.
• Scatter over the flaked salmon and garnish with radish, dill, cracked pepper, extra lemon zest and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
