Preheat the oven to 200Β°C (400Β°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the salmon fillet until just barely cooked through, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then flake the salmon into small pieces using a fork.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, sour cream, cream cheese, lemon juice, chopped dill, green onions, grated carrot, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until a creamy filling is formed.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth out any creases. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, for a total of 8 squares.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the salmon filling in the center of each puff pastry square.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, and press the edges together firmly to seal. You can use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges for extra security and decoration.
Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to create a golden, glossy finish when baked.
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 a few minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature as a main dish or appetizer.
