Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skinless)
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 2 cups Cooked white rice
- 2 cups Spinach (fresh)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the fresh spinach to the pan and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the cooked white rice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper, then remove from heat.
On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets slightly to ensure they’re large enough to wrap around the salmon fillets.
Cut each pastry sheet into two rectangular pieces to create four portions total.
Spoon a layer of the rice-spinach mixture onto the center of each pastry rectangle, leaving space around the edges.
Place a salmon fillet on top of the rice mixture on each pastry rectangle.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash.
Brush the edges of the pastry lightly with the egg wash. Fold the pastry over the salmon, sealing the edges by pressing them together and crimping with a fork.
Place the wrapped salmon pastries seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Use a knife to make three small slits on top of each pastry to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top of each pastry with the remaining egg wash for a golden, shiny finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Let the pastries rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Salmon Wrapped in Pastry with Rice!
