Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup watercress, or as desired
½ lemon, zested and juiced
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
2 boneless, skinless salmon fillets
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Place watercress in a sieve, pour boiling water over to wilt it, and drain on paper towels. Combine wilted watercress with lemon zest in a small bowl. Mix cream cheese, garlic, dill, and parsley together in a separate bowl.
  • Roll out 2 puff pastry sheets gently on a work surface until slightly larger than length of salmon fillets; cut sheets in half. Place 1/2 watercress mixture in center of each sheet. Spread 1/2 cream cheese mixture over watercress. Center salmon fillets on top of cream cheese mixture; squeeze lemon juice over each.
  • Brush the edges of the pastry with some of the egg. Fold top and bottom of pastry over the salmon; trim edges to remove excess pastry. Press pastry seams together with your fingers to seal. Transfer wrapped fillets, seam-side down, to baking sheet. Brush top with beaten egg.
  • Bake in preheated oven until pastry is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The salmon was a bit bland, and the crust was a bit too doughy.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I used a different type of fish, and I added some vegetables to the filling.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salmon en croute didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The crust was too thick and the salmon was overcooked.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a winner. The salmon is always moist and flavorful, and the crust is perfectly crispy.

This salmon en croute was absolutely delicious! The salmon was cooked perfectly, and the crust was flaky and golden brown. I served it with a simple salad and roasted vegetables, and it was a hit with my family.
