Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Pastry Brush

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • 2 salmon fillets skinless
  • 2 cups fresh spinach chopped
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1 egg beaten for egg wash
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Add-ins

  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon dill chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, combine chopped spinach, cream cheese, salt, pepper, and dill if using. Spread this mixture over each salmon fillet.
  • Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut into squares large enough to enclose each salmon fillet.
  • Place a salmon fillet in the center of each pastry square. Fold the pastry over the salmon, sealing the edges with a fork.
  • Brush the tops of the parcels with beaten egg to ensure a golden finish.

Serving

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake the parcels on a lined baking sheet for 25-30 minutes until golden. Serve warm.

Storage

  • Allow parcels to cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.

Notes

Pro Tips: Keep puff pastry cold for best results. Don't overfill parcels to avoid sogginess.
Ingredient Substitutions: Use kale instead of spinach, or goat cheese instead of cream cheese.
How to Serve: Pair with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables. Ideal as a main course.
Storage & Freshness: Keeps well in the fridge for 2 days; reheat in the oven.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare parcels up to a day in advance and bake just before serving.
