Filo-wrapped dill fish pies for a light and flavorful twist on a classic coulibiac.
Ingredients:
  • 2.30 gm olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, finely chopped
  • 150g (3/4 cup) Basmati rice
  • 310ml (1 1/4 cups) chicken style liquid stock
  • 2 tsp finely grated lemon rind
  • 21.00 gm fresh lemon juice
  • 40.00 ml finely chopped drained capers
  • 40.00 ml chopped fresh dill
  • 12 sheets filo pastry
  • Olive oil spray
  • 4 (about 180g each) skinless salmon fillets
  • Sesame seeds, to sprinkle
  • Steamed green round beans, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the oil and sauté the onion and garlic. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 6 minutes until the onion begins to soften.
  • Combine the rice and stock with the onions, cover, and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce to low and cook covered for 10 minutes. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then transfer to a bowl to cool.
  • Mix in the lemon zest, freshly squeezed lemon juice, flavorful capers, and aromatic dill. Add a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper for seasoning.
  • Lay one filo sheet on a fresh work surface and gently spray it with oil. Layer 2 more filo sheets, spraying with oil in between, to create a stack. Repeat this process with the remaining filo sheets to make a total of 4 stacks. Fold each stack in half.
  • Spread a generous portion of the rice mixture along one long side of each filo stack, about 5cm from the edge. Layer with salmon and season with salt and pepper. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly to seal the filling.
  • Preheat oven to 210°C. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Arrange parcels on the tray, spray with oil, sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden. Serve with green beans.
