Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 400 grams Salmon fillet (skinless)
- 150 grams Cream cheese
- 100 grams Spinach (fresh)
- 2 tablespoons Dill (fresh, chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Chives (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Flour (for dusting work surface)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets if needed to about 2-3 mm thickness. Place one sheet on the prepared baking sheet.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, chopped dill, chopped chives, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Season the salmon fillet lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper. If it is too thick, gently slice it in half horizontally to ensure even cooking.
Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry sheet on the baking tray, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Layer the fresh spinach leaves on top of the cream cheese mixture, followed by the salmon fillet.
Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture over the salmon evenly and cover with the second sheet of puff pastry.
Seal the edges of the pastry by pressing them together firmly with a fork. Trim any excess dough for a neat finish.
Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg for a golden crust. Optionally, score the top with a knife for decoration, but do not cut through completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your flaky and flavorful Salmon Foldover Pie!
