Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces salmon fillets
- 200 grams almond flour
- 50 grams coconut flour
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 50 grams butter
- 1 large egg
- 100 grams spinach leaves
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut flour, and salt.
Melt the butter in a small pan, then add it to the flour mixture along with the cream cheese and egg. Mix until a dough forms.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 15 minutes while you prepare the filling.
Sauté the spinach and minced garlic in a little butter until wilted. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, and remove from heat.
Roll out the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 0.5 cm thickness, making sure it is large enough to envelop the salmon fillets completely.
Place the salmon fillets on the rolled-out dough. Season them with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and dill. Top each fillet with sautéed spinach.
Sprinkle lemon zest over the spinach and then fold the dough over the salmon, sealing the edges by pinching them together.
Beat the egg yolk and brush over the pastry to give it a nice golden color when baked.
Transfer the wrapped salmon onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the salmon is cooked through.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
