Ingredients
- 4 slim salmon fillets
- 1 ready-rolled puff pastry sheet
- 1 onion
- 3 cubs frozen spinach
- 3 tablespoon cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg
- 30 g butter ( 2 tbsp)
- 1 cup samphire ( optional)
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit).
- Peel and chop the onion, melt the butter in a pan, then sautee the onion with a pinch of salt until golden.
- Add the frozen spinach to a small pan of boiled water, and leave it to simmer for a few minutes to thaw.
- Drain the water, and squeeze as much liquid as possible from the spinach.
- Leave to cool, then add the chopped dill, cream cheese, lemon juice and cooked onion, and mix well.
- Beat the egg lightly, then arrange the salmon fillets on one side of the puff pastry sheet and season with salt and pepper.
- Top the salmon fillets with the spinach sauce then scatter the samphire over.
- Wrap the puff pastry around the salmon fillets, brush with the beaten egg on top, and use a fork or knife to pick the pastry in a few places.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden.
- Serve hot or cold.
Notes
- This recipe is fail-proof, there is hardly any room for mistakes, but there are a few tips perhaps to ensure you get the perfect salmon en croute every single time.
- 2. it's crucial to brush a bit of egg wash around the edges of the puff pastry, so it can seal propery before baking, otherwise the sauce will leak during baking
- Now, that's pretty much all you have to worry about. I have not tried to make it with phyllo pastry, although I suspect it's not a massive difference, just a pretty flaky texture.
- Make sure the sauce has cooled down before wrapping the salmon in the puff pastry, we want to avoid a soggy pastry.
