Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Salmon fillet
- 1 sheet Gluten-free puff pastry
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Unroll the gluten-free puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. If necessary, roll it slightly to accommodate the salmon fillet size.
Place the salmon fillet in the center of the pastry. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top of the salmon.
Beat the egg with water in a small bowl to make an egg wash.
Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the egg wash.
Fold the pastry over the salmon to encase it completely, trimming any excess dough if necessary. Ensure the seams are pressed well to seal.
Place the wrapped salmon seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top with more egg wash for a golden finish.
Make a few small slits on top to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
Allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing to serve.
