Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound of fresh salmon fillet
  • 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed)
  • 1 cup of fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon of cream cheese
  • 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: herbs like dill or parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the salmon by seasoning it with salt and pepper.
  3. Assemble the pastry: Roll out the puff pastry, place the salmon in the center, layer on the spinach and cream cheese, fold, and seal.
  4. Brush the top with the beaten egg and place it on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

Notes

Don’t overdo the cream cheese; a hint of creaminess is perfect. Feel free to experiment with fillings like sautéed mushrooms or grated cheese. Leftovers can be stored for up to two days and reheated in the oven to retain crispness.
