In a large saucepan, wilt the spinach and watercress on a medium heat with a couple of tablespoons of water. Run under cold water to stop the cooking process then place in a sieve over a bowl and squeeze out as much water as possible.

Place one piece of pastry on the baking tray, spoon the spinach mixture down the middle and place the salmon on top.

Brush the pastry around with a little bit of water then place the other piece of pastry on top.

Mould the pastry around the fish with your hands then press the edges with a fork to seal.
