Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/370°F/gas 5.
  2. Roll the pastry out onto a floured board and use to line 12 tartlet moulds. Place in the oven and cook for about 5 mins or until the pastry turns golden and starts to puff up. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  3. Place the salmon in the freezer for 1/2hr to make it easier to slice thinly. Lay the slices out on a dish, sprinkle with sugar, salt and the herbs, cover and leave to marinate for 2hrs, turning once or twice.
  4. Brush the salmon clean with a pastry brush and set aside. Drop the asparagus into boiling salted water, bring back to the boil and simmer for 11/2 mins. Refresh in iced water, drain and set aside.
  5. Slice the artichokes finely and fry in the oil until crisp. Heat a heavy-based frying pan and sear the salmon for 30 secs on each side. Place a slice of the salmon, then 2-3 asparagus tips, then an artichoke slice into the tartlet and serve.
