Food for Two

Salima and David:

The way I see it, sitting around a table over well prepared food is what makes strangers into friends and friends into family. So, many wishes for plentiful encounters with strangers, long drawn out dinners, a warm house, and endless adventures in the kitchen and elsewhere.

Salmon Puff Pastry Appetizer


Ingredients

0.5 lemon
thinly sliced smoked salmon (Pacific smoked, if you're in Vancouver!)
1 sheet puff pastry
fresh ground pepper
brie or camembert cheese



Squeeze lemon juice over salmon, and slice into thin 1 inch strips. Fold salmon strips over and sprinkle with ground pepper.


Roll out the pastry dough fold in half so the dough is twice as thick. Cut the pastry into desired finger sized portions (3cm/3cm squares work nicely). Bake in oven at 350 F until the pastry has risen and browned (approx 8 mins).

While still warm, add brie slices to the top of the pastry, allowing it to melt slightly. Top with salmon and more ground pepper. Enjoy!


Wilde Oscar says: the best part of this plate is the left over ingredients, and the potential for the morning after breakfast... salmon, brie, coffee, french bread, eggs. Can't be beat.
