Equipment

  • Baking Tray
  • Baking Paper
  • Small Pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Pastry brush
  • Sharp knife
  • Rolling Pin

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g Puff Pastry
  • 2 Large Salmon Fillets
  • 200 g Fresh Spinach
  • 100 g Cream Cheese
  • 1 Fresh Lemon
  • 1 Bunch Fresh Dill
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 Pinch Nutmeg
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Oven

  • Heat your oven to 200C. Let it get very hot first. This helps the pastry puff up well.

Cook the Spinach

  • Put the spinach in a small pan. Add a tiny splash of water. Cook it until it turns soft.

Drain the Spinach

  • Squeeze all the water out of the spinach. This prevents a soggy pastry in the end. Use a clean cloth for this.

Make the Filling

  • Put the spinach in a mixing bowl. Add the cream cheese and fresh dill. Stir in the lemon zest and spices.

Prepare the Pastry

  • Roll out your cold puff pastry. Cut it into two large rectangles. Make them bigger than your salmon fillets.

Season the Salmon

  • Place one salmon fillet on the pastry. Sprinkle it with a little salt. Add a squeeze of lemon juice too.

Add the Spinach Mix

  • Spread the spinach mix over the salmon. Keep it in a thick, even layer. Leave a small gap at the edges.

Cover with Pastry

  • Put the second pastry sheet on top. Press the edges down very firmly. Make sure there are no air gaps.

Seal the Edges

  • Use a fork to seal the sides. This creates a pretty pattern on the dish. It keeps the filling inside.

Glaze and Bake

  • Brush the top with a beaten egg. Use a knife to score the top. Bake it for twenty-five minutes total.

Notes

➔ Keep your puff pastry very cold always.
➔ Dry the salmon fillets with paper towels.
➔ Squeeze all liquid from the cooked spinach.
➔ Do not overfill the pastry crust layer.
➔ Use fresh herbs for the best scent.
➔ Let the spinach cool before mixing it.
➔ Seal the pastry edges with a fork.
➔ Use a hot tray for crispy bottoms.
