    For 1 large tart

    • 1 puff pastry sheet, 250g (9 oz)
    • 200g (7 oz) salmon fillets
    • 4 blocks frozen spinach, thawed
    • 3 eggs
    • 15cl (⅔ cup) heavy cream
    • 150g (⅔ cup) ricotta
    • 1 tsp dill
    • 1 tsp chopped chives
    • Salt, pepper

    Preparation

    1. Unroll the puff pastry, place it in the tart pan, prick with a fork and refrigerate.
    2. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and sauté the spinach blocks over high heat so they release all their water, salt and continue cooking for a few minutes. Meanwhile in a saucepan, poach the fish for about 10 minutes in water then drain.
    3. In a bowl, beat the eggs, pour in the heavy cream, ricotta, salt and pepper. Add the chives and dill, spinach and coarsely flaked fish.
    4. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) convection. Once hot, blind bake the crust so the bottom pre-cooks for about 10-12 minutes.
    5. Remove the tart, pour the cream-fish mixture over it, lower the oven to 190°C (375°F) and bake in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes.

    Serve hot or cold with a green salad.

    Tips and Variations

    • If you don’t have ricotta, replace with heavy cream as in the white fish quiche.
    • You can replace the spinach with zucchini, Swiss chard or even broccoli.
