🥧 How To Make Jamie Oliver Salmon Filo Pie

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.
Brush a 30cm non-stick ovenproof frying pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Layer in three sheets of filo pastry, brushing each layer with oil and dusting with smoked paprika. Repeat with the remaining filo sheets, leaving a good overhang. Brush with oil again, then sprinkle in the couscous.
Finely slice the tomatoes and layer half into the pan. Then, season with a small pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Slice each salmon fillet into three lengthways and arrange on top. Scatter over the prawns.
Finely grate the lemon zest over the salmon and prawns. Finely chop the dill and scatter it over. Layer the remaining tomatoes on top and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add another small pinch of salt and pepper. Then, fold in the overhanging filo to cover, scrunching it as you go.
Brush with a little more oil, squeeze over the lemon juice and dust with more paprika.
Place the pan over high heat on the hob until it starts to sizzle – about 4 minutes. Then, bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Serve hot with a dollop of yogurt and a seasonal salad.

💭 Recipe Tips:

Use Fresh Ingredients: Make sure to use fresh, ripe tomatoes, high-quality salmon, and fresh dill for the best flavor.
Proper Filo Handling: Keep the filo pastry covered with a damp cloth while working to prevent it from drying out and becoming brittle.
Season Well: Don’t forget to season each layer lightly with salt and pepper to ensure the dish is flavorful throughout.
Even Layering: Layer the ingredients evenly to ensure every bite has a good mix of salmon, prawns, and tomatoes.
Monitor Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the pie while it’s baking to avoid overcooking, as filo pastry can burn easily.
