Trim to neaten. Place onto a greased baking tray. 7) Smooth the rice mixture evenly onto the pastry base then top with the salmon. Dot the salmon with the remaining butter. 8) Roll out the rest of the pastry until its large enough to cover the salmon and have a bit extra to tuck under the base. Trim neatly. 9) Gently lift the pastry onto the salmon using a rolling pin. Brush the inside edges of the top with a little water then tuck the pastry underneath. 10) Brush the pastry with the beaten egg. 11) Bake in the oven for 30 – 35 minutes until golden. 12) Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
