- Brush all of the filo sheets with the egg wash, then roll up around the salmon to form a neat parcel. Brush the outside of the pastry with the egg wash.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the salmon parcels and fry until golden. Don't overcook the parcels otherwise you may overcook the salmon.
- Meanwhile, for the salad, place the olive oil, vinegar, honey and salt into a bowl.
- Place the watercress and rocket into a clean bowl and pour over a little of the dressing. Mix well to coat the leaves.
- To serve, slice each of the avocado halves and fan out onto each plate. Spoon a little of the dressing over the avocado.
- Place a handful of watercress and rocket salad alongside the avocado fans and sprinkle a little salmon roe over the top.
