Garlic Herb and Salmon Empanadas image

This was submitted by Jan Kessler of Woodhaven, Mi. at the Pillsbury Bake-Off 40 (Orlando 2002). These little empanaditas are really wonderful! They just hit the right spot. You can serve them with a side of sour cream topped with chopped green onions or fresh chopped chives. These are great as an appetizer or as snacks.

I made these empanadas with a few substitutions (I used tuna instead of salmon, and I added some chopped vegetables to the filling) and they turned out great! I'm sure they would be even better with the original ingredients, but I'm happy with how mi

These empanadas were a little bit more work than I expected, but they were definitely worth it. The filling was so flavorful and the crust was perfectly crispy.

I've made these empanadas several times now and they're always a hit. The garlic and herb combination is perfect, and the salmon adds a nice richness.

These empanadas were delicious! I used a store-bought dough to save time, and the filling was simple but delicious. I will definitely be making these again.
