Finely chop some leeks, keeping aside some leeks for the garnish. Cut them into very find julienne or strips. Put them aside. With the rest of the leek, chop up into small pieces along with an onion, finely chop that into cubes and a clove of garlic. Sweat that into a pan with olive oil, until it goes glassy and with some spring onion. Throw in some chopped dill. Cut a nice piece of salmon and set aside. With the trimmings of the salmon, cut them into cubes. When the onion and leek mix cools down, add the salmon to the onion and leek mix - set aside. In a bowl, you need 5 eggs and 500 mls of cream and beat that until smooth - add a little salt and pepper. Grab some muffin trays and cut 6 sheets of filo pastry into squares. Brush each sheet with a little bit of butter. Stack them on top of each other. Lay them into the muffin tray then put a spoonful of the salmon and leek mixture into the muffin tray and cover with the egg and cream (Royale) mixture.

Presenting the dish - place the tart on the plate next to the piece of poached salmon and drizzle a little of the green oil around the plate. Drizzle a little of the caramelised balsamic on top of the oil and a little on the salmon. Place the fried leek on top of the tart with a sprig of dill.
