For the dill cream sauce
- 2 tsp butter
- 1 garlic clove crushed

- 2 tbsp Dill chopped
- 1-2 tsp lemon juice

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.

- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.

- While the salmon is baking, make the sauce. Melt the butter in a small saucepan then add the garlic and cook for a few seconds. Pour in the cream and add the dill. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice and remove from the heat. Serve the sauce with the baked salmon en croute.
