Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 4 pieces salmon fillets, skinless
- 115 grams cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface, and divide each sheet into 2 equal rectangles, creating 4 pieces total.
Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, chopped fresh dill, and lemon zest until well combined.
Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture on one half of each puff pastry rectangle, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border around the edges.
Place a salmon fillet on top of the cream cheese layer.
Fold the blank half of the puff pastry over the salmon to enclose it, pressing the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Brush the egg wash over the tops of the puff pastry to give them a golden finish during baking.
Place the prepared salmon puffs on the lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a side salad or your favorite vegetables.
