  • 75 g butter at room temperature, cubed + 1 tbsp butter for tins
  • grated rind of ½ lemon
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 egg yolk

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 180 °C. Shortcrust pastry: place flour, 75 g butter, grated lemon rind, salt and egg yolk in the mixer bowl and beat until smooth. Form a ball. Wrap in cling film. Set aside in a cool place for 30 minutes.
  2. Filling: in a bowl mix salmon with cream, grated lemon rind, chives and dill. Salt and pepper. Set aside in a cool place. Butter the baking tins (diameter 7.5 cm). Roll out the pastry and cut out circles the size of the tins using a pastry cutter. Place the pastry in the tins. Bake the tarts blind for 20 minutes. Check the colour of the pastry; it should not be too dark. Remove from tins and allow to cool on a wire rack.
