Ingredients
4 Servings
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 0.5 tsp pepper
- 500 g puff pastry
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1 tsp salt
- 200 g spinach
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2
In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside to cool.
Step 3
Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut it into four equal rectangles.
Step 4
Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on each salmon fillet, then top with a spoonful of the sautéed spinach mixture and some lemon zest.
Step 5
Place each salmon fillet on a rectangle of puff pastry. Fold the pastry over the salmon and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.
Step 6
Brush the tops of the pastry with the beaten egg yolk for a golden finish.
Step 7
Place the wrapped salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Serve hot, garnished with extra lemon zest or fresh herbs if desired.
