¼ C finely chopped fresh basil leaves

¼ C finely chopped fresh dill sprigs

¼ C finely chopped fresh tarragon

1 shallot, peeled, finely chopped

1 T baby capers

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
2. Place butter, parsley, basil, dill, tarragon, shallot, capers, garlic, horseradish, and lemon rind in a small food processor. Season well with salt and pepper. Process until combined.
3. Place 2 sheets of pastry, side by side, slightly overlapping, on a flat surface. Press pastry together to secure. Place on prepared tray. Sprinkle breadcrumbs, in a thin layer, lengthways along the centre of the pastry. Top with salmon and season with salt and pepper. Spread salmon with garlic and herb butter. Place 2 remaining pastry sheets side by side, slightly overlapping, on a flat surface. Press pastry together to secure then place over salmon. Trim edges of pastry around salmon, leaving a 2cm border. Press edges together with a fork to seal.
4. Brush pastry with egg. Lightly score the top of the wellington at 2cm intervals in a diamond pattern. Bake for 30 minutes or until pastry is golden and puffed and salmon is almost cooked through. Stand 5 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
