Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375˚F.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, sugar and salt.

Step 3

Stir in egg and blend in softened butter. You may find it easiest to use your hands to mix the dough at this point. Set dough aside for 15 minutes to make it easier to work with, and lightly grease a cookie sheet.

Step 4

Bake 12 to 18 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to cool slightly on the cookie sheet before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 5

Brush the pastry with beaten egg and bake for 35-40 minutes. To see if the fish is cooked, insert a skewer between the plaits; it should come out clean.

Serve salmon plain or with either of the following sauces.

*For an extra taste treat, stir in 2 oz. grated coconut when you add the butter.
