Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Now lay out half a square of filo. (Keep the remaining filo covered under a damp tea towel). Brush with melted butter and lay another sheet diagonally across the first one. Brush again with melted butter. Place a piece of salmon in the middle of the sheet and put a slice of camembert on top. Sprinkle with freshly milled black pepper and add 3 to 5 capers. Fold the filo around the fish and cheese to form a “parcel” and tie with the chive “string”. Work very carefully. If you don’t get it right, don’t worry, fold it close as best you can and place on the baking tray. Once they are placed in the refrigerator the butter hardens and your parcels will keep its shape.
  2. To make the sauce add the olive oil and chopped onion to a pan and fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until translucent. Add all other ingredients. Cook-stir for about 10 minutes. Use as is or blend in a food processor. Bake your parcels for 10 to 12 minutes in a moderate oven (180ºC). If desire cook a few minutes longer for well-done salmon. Serve this on the warm tomato sauce. If you really want to impress your guests, add 3 prawns fried on high heat in garlic butter and lemon to the plate. Garnish with fresh dill.
