Provided by Frank Tiu

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup pesto sauce
2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
9 oz salmon fillet
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
5 leaves fresh basil, julienned
2 eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl lined with a strainer, strain the pesto. Set aside the pesto and pesto oil.
  • Gently unfold and unroll 1 sheet of puff pastry. Roll out to 11 inches (28 cm) by 16 inches (40 cm). Transfer the puff pastry to the baking sheet.

  • Place the other sheet of puff pastry on top of the salmon and press around the salmon fillet to seal. Cut a fish silhouette around the salmon and remove the excess puff pastry.

  • Seal the edges by pressing onto the seams of the fish silhouette.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Choose the Right Salmon: For the best results, use fresh, wild-caught salmon. If you can't find fresh salmon, frozen salmon is a good alternative.
  • Cook the Salmon Properly: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. To prevent this, cook the salmon until it is just cooked through, about 125 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make the Dill Pesto Ahead of Time: The dill pesto can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will save you time on the day you're making the salmon pastries.
  • Serve the Salmon Pastries Warm: The salmon pastries are best served warm. You can reheat them in the oven or microwave if necessary.

Conclusion:

Salmon pastries with dill pesto are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making them a great option for busy weeknights. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the dill pesto adds a bright, flavorful touch. Serve these pastries warm with your favorite sides for a meal that everyone will love.
