Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets (skinless)
- 1 pack (2 sheets, thawed) frozen puff pastry sheets
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Set aside.
Step 3
On a lightly floured surface, unfold the puff pastry sheets and roll each sheet into a 12-inch square. Cut each square in half to make 4 smaller rectangles.
Step 4
Place a salmon fillet in the center of two of the rectangles. Spread 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture over each fillet, and top evenly with 1/2 cup of fresh spinach leaves.
Step 5
Cover each salmon-topped rectangle with another rectangle of puff pastry. Press the edges together to seal, and then use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra seal.
Step 6
Whisk the egg and water together to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the pastry with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Step 7
Cut a few small slits on the top of each puff pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 8
Transfer the salmon puffs to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the salmon puffs cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
