Ingredients
For the Salmon En Croute
- 1 large salmon fillet about 600g, skinless
- 1 sheet puff pastry ready-rolled
- 1 egg for egg wash
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Filling
- 150 g fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
- Zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Once cooled, mix in cream cheese, Dijon mustard, dill, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Step 2: Prepare the Salmon
- Pat the salmon dry and season with salt and pepper. This helps enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
Step 3: Prepare the Pastry
- Roll out the puff pastry slightly if needed. Place it on parchment paper.
- Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the center of the pastry, leaving space around the edges.
Step 4: Assemble
- Place the salmon fillet on top of the filling. Carefully fold the pastry over the salmon, sealing the edges tightly.
- Turn it over so the seam is underneath.
Step 5: Egg Wash
- Brush the pastry with beaten egg. This gives it that beautiful golden finish.
Step 6: Bake
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake for 20–25 minutes until the pastry is golden and crisp.
Step 7: Rest and Serve
- Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This helps everything hold together beautifully.
