Ingredients

• 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
• 4 pieces salmon fillets, skinless
• 115 grams cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface, and divide each sheet into 2 equal rectangles, creating 4 pieces total.

Step 3

Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, chopped fresh dill, and lemon zest until well combined.

Step 5

Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture on one half of each puff pastry rectangle, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border around the edges.

Step 6

Place a salmon fillet on top of the cream cheese layer.

Step 7

Fold the blank half of the puff pastry over the salmon to enclose it, pressing the edges firmly with a fork to seal.

Step 8

In a separate small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.

Step 9

Brush the egg wash over the tops of the puff pastry to give them a golden finish during baking.

Step 10

Place the prepared salmon puffs on the lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a side salad or your favorite vegetables.
