Ingredients

• 400 grams salmon fillet
• 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
• 140 grams cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 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

Place the salmon fillet in a pot of shallow boiling water and cook for 4-5 minutes, until slightly cooked but still tender. Remove from water, allow to cool, and use a fork to flake the salmon into small pieces.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, chopped dill, chopped chives, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth, then gently fold in the flaked salmon.

Step 4

Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. If needed, trim to make a neat rectangular shape.

Step 5

Spread the salmon mixture evenly across one half of the pastry sheet, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.

Step 6

Brush the edges of the pastry with a beaten egg mixed with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.

Step 7

Fold the empty half of the pastry over the salmon filling to form a pocket. Press the edges firmly together to seal, and crimp with a fork for an attractive pattern.

Step 8

Brush the top of the pastry with the remaining egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 9

Using a knife, make three small slits on the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 10

Transfer the puff pastry to the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven.

Step 11

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Step 12

Let the Savory Salmon Puff rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
