Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 pieces puff pastry sheets
- 150 grams cream cheese
- 200 grams fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then squeeze out excess moisture and chop finely.
Step 3
In a bowl, mix chopped spinach with cream cheese, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Step 4
Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet in half to make 4 rectangles.
Step 5
Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard onto each salmon fillet. Place a salmon fillet in the center of each pastry rectangle.
Step 6
Top the salmon with the spinach mixture evenly spread across the four fillets.
Step 7
Fold the pastry over the salmon, encasing it completely, and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.
Step 8
Beat the egg and brush over the pastry to give it a glossy finish.
Step 9
Place the salmon parcels on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot, alongside a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
