It's not one of mine, but George Perry-Smith/Joyce Molyneux's Salmon in Pastry with Ginger & Currants might be one you could adapt. It's the last recipe here:

I agree, rice would be a great bulking agent for a pasty.

Thanks, I made a mix of salmon, smoked salmon, saffron rice, sultanas and a small amount of curry powder and chopped parsley, egg to bind and into a puff pastry pasty case. With the remaining bits I knocked up a few sausage type rolls. Will certainly make that again!

Pigeon sausage rolls next.......

Hi WW, I was over your side of the realm last weekend at a wool festival (spinning, weaving, etc). Lots of caterers there, including a scotch egg stall. I chose a salmon scotch egg which was quite a surprise and seriously delicious. No egg in it; the centre was a ball of cream cheese with dill, wrapped with smoked salmon and the whole wrapped with mashed potato, coated with bread crumbs and cooked as per a traditional scotch egg. I thought this would be good cooked en croute, which I did this week, lovely. Could covert to a pasty maybe?

I often do something like this with smoked fish. Let's say Cod.

First, I poach the fish in milk, and save the stock left from poaching to cook the diced potatoes, then the carrots then the sweet potato in. Then make the white sauce with this stock - which has curdled milk by now, but it still works fine in the sauce with more milk. Other things that go well in this mix are peas, asparagus, spinach and chopped boiled eggs. If I don't have leeks (which we love) to sweat off in the butter, lots of onions will do.

I often use a mixture of smoked fish and fresh fish, hopefully one of them being salmon and the other a meaty white-fleshed fish.

A winter favourite.
