One of the great benefits of living in the Seattle area is the fantastic variety of fresh seafood. This easy recipe features the crème de la crème of the Pacific Northwest: Salmon! And, if you really want to treat yourself, serve this dish with Hollandaise sauce, which is the perfect complement to both the fish and the spinach.
Ingredients
- 1 Sheet Frozen Puff Pastry (Or make your own if you want to show off!)
- 1 cup Frozen Spinach, defrosted and drained
- 1 tbsp. Finely Minced Garlic
- 2 Large Salmon Fillets
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp. Melted Butter
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Defrost puff pastry sheet and cut into two equal pieces, each roughly double the size of the fillets. (Don’t worry if it’s not exactly right. You can always trim and patch the pastry, and then hide your patch-work on the bottom. It’ll be our little secret.)
- Add minced garlic to spinach and mix to combine.
- Spoon spinach mixture onto puff pastry in a size and shape roughly equal to the fillets.
- Place salmon fillets on top of spinach mixture, and salt and pepper fish to taste.
- Wrap puff pastry around both, sealing the edges well.
- Flip the puff pastry packets over to hide any seams.
- Coat a baking dish with cooking spray and arrange packets in the dish.
- Brush the puff pastry packets with melted butter.
- Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until pastry is golden.
