Print Pin RateServings: 4
Ingredients
- 400 g Salmon
- 1 Onion diced
- 6 Cloves of garlic chopped
- 300 g Spinach leaves
- 140 g Cream cheese
- 1 tsp Wholegrain mustard
- 320 g Sheet of ready rolled puff pastry
- 2 Egg yolks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C.
- Heat a little bit of oil in a large frying pan, add the onion and garlic and sweat over a medium heat for about 6-8 minutes.
- Add the spinach, it will look like a lot, but it will soon shrink up. Cook until it wilts. Season with salt and pepper, then take it off the heat and leave to cool completely.
- When it’s cooled, add the cream cheese and wholegrain mustard to the spinach and mix it well.
- Roll out the sheet of puff pastry. Spread half of the spinach mix on one end leaving a border. Pop the salmon on top then spread the remaining spinach mix over the top.
- Fold the pastry over and press down to seal the edges. Ensure there are no air pockets inside.
- Cut away any excess pastry. Brush the pastry with egg yolk then score diagonally across the top.
- Bake it for 30-35 minutes until it’s golden and crisp. Take it out of the oven and leave it to rest for at least 5 minutes before carving.

So easy and absolutely delicious!!!
Such a stunning meal. Gave the recipe to my father and its now his go-to for New Year, Birthdays etc!
Looks amazing, thank you for sharing the recipe! Wondering how much to decrease cooking time and/or temperature if I make this as two separate 200g pieces?
thank you. Same temp, maybe 5 minutes less, just keep an eye on it.
