Ingredients Needed:

• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 shallot, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 227g fresh baby spinach
• Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
• 113g cream cheese
• 2 tbsp parmesan cheese
• 2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 907g salmon fillet, about 1 inch thick
• 1 sheet of puff pastry
• 1 large egg + 1 tsp water (for egg wash)

How To Make Salmon En Croute Recipe?

1. Preheat oven: Heat the oven to 220°C.
2. Cook filling: Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Cook the shallot and garlic for 2-3 minutes. Add spinach, cook until wilted, then mix in cream cheese, parmesan, and lemon juice.
3. Assemble: Lay puff pastry on a baking sheet. Spread the spinach mixture in the center. Season the salmon, then place it on top of the spinach. Fold the pastry over the salmon, sealing the edges.
4. Bake: Brush the pastry with egg wash and score the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.
5. Serve: Let cool for 5-10 minutes, then slice and serve.

Recipe Tips:

• Use Fresh Spinach: For the best flavor and texture in the filling, use fresh spinach instead of frozen.
• Season the Salmon Well: Generously season the salmon with salt and pepper to enhance its flavor.
• Roll the Pastry Evenly: Roll the puff pastry evenly to ensure it cooks through properly and crisps up.
• Score the Pastry: Lightly score the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape and keep the pastry from becoming soggy.
• Let It Rest: After baking, let the dish cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing to prevent the filling from spilling out.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover Salmon En Croute cool to room temperature, then cover and store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Freeze: Let the dish cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic or foil and place it in an airtight container. It can be frozen for up to 1 month.
• Reheat: Heat the air fryer to 180°C. Cook the salmon for 5-7 minutes until heated and crispy.
