salmon and leek pie!

when there's a chill in the air, it's salmon & leek pie time!

i use "Dufour puff pastry" which is pricey, but worth it!

first thing's first, you'll need to either make some puff pastry or defrost some frozen puff pastry!
you'll need a bunch of leeks (4):
chop them and cook them in oil until they are soft! (it's good fun)
about 2 pounds of salmon -- chop too and preheat the oven to 400!
chop some dill (1/4 cup) and zest some lime (few teaspoons)--mix the salmon, dill, lime zest, cooked leeks and some salt and pepper together...
place into the puff pastry in any formation that suits you...brush the pastry with some "egg wash..."
bake until the puff pastry is golden brown (30 minutes) and....
enjoy!

it will not last very long!
