6.     Season the fish with a little salt and pepper and divide the vegetables on top of each fillet.

7.     Brush the surrounding pastry with some egg wash.

8.     Wrapped the salmon by first folding both ends ends of the pastry toward the salmon to seal both ends and then, by stretching the strips of pastry from bot sides toward the centre, over the salmon, with a slight overlap.

9. Place a trip of extra puff pastry along the top to seal the overlapping pastry strips for a smoother finish.
