Method

  1. To make the Savory Leek and Salmon Tartlets, start by washing and trimming the leek. Remove the green parts, chop it with a knife and cook it for a few minutes in a nonstick skillet with a pat of butter. When it has browned, turn off the heat and let it cool.

  2. Unroll the pâte brisée on the work surface and, with a round cookie cutter slightly larger than the tartlet molds, cut out as many discs as you can.

  3. Line the tartlet molds with parchment paper and then with the pastry, pressing well on the edges so it sticks and trimming off the excess.
