Provided by Tasty

Categories     Dinner

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, chopped
½ medium onion, chopped
5 oz fresh spinach
1 teaspoon salt, for spinach
1 teaspoon pepper, for spinach
⅓ cup breadcrumb
4 oz cream cheese
¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1 sheet puff pastry, softened to room temperature
1 salmon fillet
1 teaspoon salt, for salmon
1 teaspoon pepper, for salmon
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add the garlic and onions, cooking until translucent.
  • Add the spinach, salt, and pepper, cooking until spinach is wilted.
  • Add the breadcrumbs, cream cheese, parmesan, and dill, stirring until mixture is evenly combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • On a cutting board, smooth out the sheet of puff pastry. Place the salmon in the middle of the pastry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Place several spoonfuls of the spinach mixture on top of the salmon, smoothing it out so that it does not spill over the sides.
  • Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the salmon and spinach, starting with the longer sides and then the shorter ends. Trim any excess pastry from the ends, then fold the ends on top. Flip the puff pastry-wrapped salmon over and transfer for a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Brush the beaten egg on the top and sides of the pastry. Score the top of the pastry with a knife, cutting shallow diagonal lines to create a crosshatch pattern.
  • Brush the top again with the egg wash.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until pastry is golden brown.
  • Slice, then serve!
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • When choosing salmon fillets, look for pieces that are firm and have a bright color. Avoid fillets that are soft or have a dull color.
  • To ensure that the salmon is evenly cooked, make sure that the fillets are of uniform thickness. You can use a sharp knife to trim any uneven edges.
  • Before cooking the salmon, pat it dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent the fish from steaming.
  • Season the salmon fillets generously with salt and pepper before cooking. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • When cooking the salmon, be careful not to overcook it. Salmon is best when it is cooked to medium-rare or medium, so that it is still slightly pink in the center.
  • Serve the salmon immediately after cooking. It can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Salmon with puff pastry and pesto is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of flaky salmon, crispy puff pastry, and flavorful pesto is sure to impress your guests. This dish is also relatively easy to make, so it is a great option for home cooks of all skill levels.
