Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 2 salmon fillets (skinless, about 6 oz each)
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions
Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix cream cheese, Parmesan, spinach, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Stuff the salmon: Spread the cheese and spinach mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
Wrap in puff pastry: Roll out the puff pastry and place the stuffed salmon in the center. Fold the pastry around the salmon, sealing the edges. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Apply the egg wash: Brush the pastry with beaten egg for a golden finish. Optionally, score the top with a knife for a decorative pattern.
Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp.
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
Tips
1. Thaw puff pastry:
Allow the puff pastry to thaw according to package instructions.
2. Don’t overfill:
Leave a 1-inch border around the edges to prevent filling from escaping during baking.
3. Brush with egg wash:
Brush the pastry with an egg wash for a golden brown finish.
4. Use fresh spinach:
Fresh spinach provides the best flavor and texture.
