This Salmon en Croute is pure elegance! with buttery puff pastry, creamy filling, and perfectly baked salmon. Elegant, simple, and seriously delicious. Make your dinner oh-so decadent, looks like fine dining, yet surprisingly simple to prepare, and of course, easier than you think.
1. Preheat the oven at 400°F. 2. Chop spinach, and season the salmon with salt and pepper then set aside. 3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for about 3 minutes. 4. Add in chopped spinach, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally and cook until wilted.
5. Add cream cheese, parmesan cheese and juice lemon and stir until the cream cheese is melted and well combined. Let it cool. 6. Shape ½ of the puff pastry into a lattice pattern using a knife or lattice roller. Set aside. 7. Lay puff pastry on working surface. Place cream spinach smaller than the salmon on the center of the puff pastry. Place salmon right on top of the spinach.
8. Wrap it up and pinch the edges together so that is completely and totally closed. Flip it over and carefully drape the lattice pastry over the Salmon en Croute and cut off the excess. 9. Brush the Salmon en Croute with egg wash then bake it for 25-30 minutes. 10. Slice and serve. Enjoy!
