Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 200 grams Fresh salmon fillet (skinless)
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the salmon into small cubes and place in a mixing bowl.
Add cream cheese, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the salmon. Mix well to combine.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a clean, lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, resulting in 8 total squares.
Spoon a small amount of the salmon mixture (about 1-2 tablespoons) onto the center of each puff pastry square.
Fold each square into a triangle by bringing one corner to the opposite corner, enclosing the filling. Press the edges together to seal, and crimp with a fork for a decorative finish.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the tops of each pasty to achieve a golden finish while baking.
Place the filled pastries on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
