Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 packet dairy-free puff pastry
- 100 grams baby spinach leaves
- 100 grams dairy-free cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the dairy-free puff pastry to about 4mm thickness.
Divide the pastry into four equal rectangles.
In a bowl, mix the dairy-free cream cheese with fresh dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place a salmon fillet in the center of each pastry rectangle. Season the salmon with a small pinch of salt and pepper.
Spread a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture over the top of each piece of salmon.
Layer a small handful of baby spinach leaves on top of the cream cheese.
Fold the pastry over the salmon, and seal the edges using a fork to crimp and ensure the parcels are secured.
Beat the egg in a bowl and brush the top of each pastry parcel with the beaten egg to give a golden finish.
Transfer the pastry parcels to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
