Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skinless)
• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 120 grams Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 100 grams Baby spinach
• 1 piece Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, fresh dill, garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set the mixture aside.

Step 3

Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. If using frozen puff pastry, ensure it is fully thawed and pliable.

Step 4

Cut each puff pastry sheet into two equal rectangles, creating four pieces in total. Each piece should be slightly larger than the salmon fillet to fully encase it.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each puff pastry rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 6

Place a salmon fillet on top of the cream cheese layer. Top the salmon with a few baby spinach leaves.

Step 7

Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg to help seal the pastry.

Step 8

Fold the puff pastry over the salmon, completely encasing it. Press the edges firmly to seal and crimp with a fork for extra security.

Step 9

Place the sealed pastry parcels on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, gently score the tops of the pastry with a decorative pattern, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 12

Allow the pastries to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a side of your choice, such as a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
