INGREDIENTS

¼ cup olive oil or

melted butter

600g salmon fillets

1½ tsp prepared wasabi

8 filo pastry sheets

1 tbsp sesame seeds

FOR THE DIPPING SAUCE

4 green kiwifruit, peeled

½ tsp finely grated ginger

1 tsp runny honey

1 tsp sweet chilli sauce

¼ tsp salt

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

METHOD

1. Gently heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a pan and fry the salmon fillet for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until just cooked. Place the fillets on a chopping board and spread a little wasabi over each. Cut in finger sized strips.

2. Take 1 sheet of filo pastry (keep the remaining covered with damp absorbent paper) and brush with olive oil. Top with another sheet and cut into 3 strips.

3. Place a piece of salmon on one end of a strip of filo and roll up, tucking in the edges. Brush the end with a little more oil to seal. 4. 4. Repeat with the remaining pastry and salmon. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

5. Preheat the oven to 200C. Place the rolls – joined end down – on baking trays and bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.

6. To make the dipping sauce: place all the ingredients into a food processor. Pulse until roughly blended. Pour into a bowl and serve with the hot wasabi salmon fingers.
