Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 baking paper
  • 1 non-stick frying pan

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced) and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
  2. Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan and add leek, celery and garlic with a pinch of salt. Cook on low until vegetables are soft.
  3. Cool the vegetables slightly. Mix cooled vegetables with remaining ingredients (except pastry), season and mix well to ensure everything is well combined.
  4. Layer 5 filo sheets on top of one another, spraying lightly with oil between layers.
  5. Place one quarter of the salmon mixture on the bottom third of the filo. Roll mixture once then bring in the sides and continue to roll until you have a sausage roll.
  6. Spray sausage roll lightly with oil and place on the baking sheet, seam side down.
  7. Continue with remaining ingredients to make 4 large rolls in total.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and crisp.

Notes

Tip
I say it serves 4-6 people because the sausage rolls are large – one feeds an adult comfortably.
Variation
I’ve used filo pastry to keep the fat content down but if you prefer something with more puff, use reduced-fat puff pastry.
