Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ large yellow onion diced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 (5 oz) bag baby spinach roughly chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt plus more for salmon
  • ½ teaspoon pepper plus more for salmon
  • 1 (8 oz) tub chive and onion cream cheese
  • ½ cup Italian style breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh dill minced
  • 1 lemon zested
  • 1 (17.3 oz) box puff pastry softened to room temperature (2 sheets)
  • 2 (8 oz) salmon fillets skin removed and patted dry
  • 1 large egg beaten

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  • Melt butter in a large non-stick pan over medium heat, then add in onions and garlic and cook until the onion is tender, about 5-10 minutes.
  • Stir in the chopped spinach, salt, and pepper, and continue cooking until the spinach is wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add in the cream cheese, breadcrumbs, and parmesan and stir until the cream cheese has melted.
  • Remove from heat, stir in the dill and lemon zest, taste and re-season, if necessary, then set aside.
  • Unfold the 2 thawed sheets of puff pastry, place them side-by-side onto the prepared baking sheet, then place 1 salmon fillet into the center of each of the sheets.
  • Season both sides with salt and pepper, then spoon the spinach mixture evenly on top of the fillets; do not let it spill over the sides.
  • Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the filling, starting with the longer sides and then the shorter ends.
  • Trim excess pastry from the ends, then fold the ends on top. Be sure to pinch the seams together to the best of your ability.
  • Flip the puff pastry-wrapped salmon over, then score the top with a knife, creating a crosshatch pattern.
  • Brush the top with the beaten egg, then bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown.
  • Gently slice into individual servings and enjoy!
