  5. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and place the smaller circle in the centre
  6. Arrange the asparagus over the pastry in a fan, leaving a 1cm outer border
  7. Spoon the salmon mixture on top then mould into a dome with your hands

  11. Brush the pastry with the egg, then use the tip of a sharp knife to make a hole in the centre

  13. Chill in the fridge for 15 mins more, then bake for 30-35 mins until golden
