PUFF PASTRY SALMON PARCELS
As complicated as they may look, these puff pastry salmon parcels are actually easy to make and only require a handful of ingredients. All you need is:
Salmon – use fresh, skinless fillets. Spinach – we use fresh baby spinach leaves as we found the flavour surpasses frozen spinach. Rice – long grain, basmati or jasmine rice can be used. Puff pastry sheets – use full fat or reduced fat puff pastry sheets.
HOW TO MAKE SALMON PARCELS
Start your puff pastry salmon parcels by preparing the filling first: Sauté onion until soft, the add in rice and spinach. Cook for a minute until spinach has wilted, then sauté the garlic. Bring to a boil with water or stock, while stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and cover. Gently simmer until rice is soft and cooked through. Stir through lemon juice and parsley, then let cool slightly.
OVEN BAKED PUFF PASTRY SALMON
Preheat oven and line a baking tray. Cut puff pastry sheets in half to make 2 rectangles per sheet. With the shorter edge in front of you, spoon ¼ of the rice and spinach mixture onto the lower half of the pastry, leaving a 1 inch (2 cm) border around the edges. Arrange a salmon fillet on top of the rice mixture. Brush the puff pastry edges with water. Fold empty side of pastry over the top of the salmon to create an envelope, then seal the edges firmly with a fork. Transfer parcel to prepared baking sheet/tray and repeat the same steps with reamining pastry, rice mixture and salmon fillets until all puff pastry salmon parcels have been done. Brush parcels with whisked egg. Bake for 20-25 minutes until pastry is golden and crisp and salmon is cooked through. Slice each parcel in half and serve warm.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH PUFF PASTRY SALMON PARCELS
