Salmon Wrapped in Pastry With Rice image

An Irish recipe that is just too good not to share. It comes from an old book, "The Best of Ireland". This is made with chunks of salmon with eggs, mushrooms and rice in a flaky pastry and it so tasty! Serve with hollandaise sauce and some steamed vegetables. It looks a lot harder than it is.
