My Grandparents, Aunt and Uncle and 3 cousins have joined us for an Australian Christmas. It is very hard to cater for 12 people, especially when most of the recipes serve 4 and I have to triple the recipe. This dish was no exception. I made 12 separate portions of salmon in pastry, all with the first letter of my cousins' names on the top to stop confusion between plates! I cheated with this dish, instead of making a cream cheese sauce, I just put the dill on the salmon and wrapped it in (pre bought) puff pastry. It was a huge success. For the adults I made Hollandaise sauce to accompany steamed asparagus- peas for the kids! I found that I had to stir the Hollandaise continually after adding lots and lots (and lots) of butter! Not the best for our summer figures! Did I mention that there was a bit of butter in the Hollandaise Sauce?!
