Ingredients
- 1 pound Salmon fillet
- 1 sheet Gluten-free puff pastry
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Step 3
Unroll the gluten-free puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. If necessary, roll it slightly to accommodate the salmon fillet size.
Step 4
Place the salmon fillet in the center of the pastry. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top of the salmon.
Step 5
Beat the egg with water in a small bowl to make an egg wash.
Step 6
Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the egg wash.
Step 7
Fold the pastry over the salmon to encase it completely, trimming any excess dough if necessary. Ensure the seams are pressed well to seal.
Step 8
Place the wrapped salmon seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top with more egg wash for a golden finish.
Step 9
Make a few small slits on top to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 11
Allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing to serve.
