Method
Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan forced. Place a 10-cup capacity shallow baking dish (about 35cm x 28cm) on an oven tray to catch any spills
Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil. Add the eggs and simmer for 6 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer eggs to a bowl of iced water. Continue cooking potatoes for 3-4 minutes, until tender. Drain well and roughly mash. Meanwhile, peel eggs and cut into quarters
In a large bowl whisk sour cream, milk and mustard together. Add potato, salmon, fish, peas, green onion and dill. Season and mix well. Spoon into dish. Tuck in egg quarters
For the topping, brush pastry sheets with butter then cut into 4 strips lengthways. Scrunch each strip into a loose ball and arrange on top of pie
Bake pie for 25-30 minutes, until topping turns golden brown and filling bubbles up around the edges. Scatter with extra dill. Serve with mixed greens and lemon wedges
