Instructions: Preheat oven to gas mark 4 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

If you live near a smoked salmon supplier then the best choice for this is the small pieces of smoked salmon called off cuts. If not then the frozen slices of smoked salmon will do well.

First of all make up the pastry and line an 20cm metal quiche or flan tin with it.

Prick all over with a fork and pre bake it blind on a baking tray for 10 minutes in the centre of the oven.

Then remove it and leave aside until the pastry has cooled a little.

Now line the pastry case with the salmon (leaving as few gaps as possible) and sprinkle the salmon with a little lemon juice.

Then whisk together the eggs cream and seasoning then pour this mixture over the smoked salmon in the pastry case.

Bake on a baking sheet in the centre of the oven for 40 minutes.

Serve either warm or cold garnished with prawns watercress and a sprinkling of cayenne pepper.

Serves 4 people or 6 as a starter
