Seriously who in the world wraps salmon in Pastry? I’ve been seeing everyone do it on the internet and as I’ve said before, sometimes I tend to bandwagon hop. So here’s my stab at taking something totally healthy and wrapping it with the most unhealthy thing I could find.
What you need:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 5 oz fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup Mexican crema
- 2 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 pound slab of salmon (skin peeled)
- 3 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 sheets puff pastry
What you do:
- Preheat the oven to 425
- Heat olive oil in a medium pan
- Lightly sauté your spinach. Don’t overdo it and cook it down too much
- Remove your spinach from the pan and place in a bowl
- Add your Mexican crema and 1/2 tsp of salt and mix (resist the temptation to spoon the creamy spinach into your mouth)
- Season your salmon with your remaining seasonings
- Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray
- Lay out one sheet of your puff pastry
- Spoon your spinach mixture onto the puff pastry
- Lay the salmon on top of the spinach
- Mix together your honey and soy sauce
- Pour your sauce over top of the salmon
- Place your butter on top of the salmon
- Cover the salmon with the second sheet of puff pastry and wrap it around the bottom
- Bake for about 18 minutes or until the pastry is flaky and the salmon is cooked through
- Remove from the oven and cool just for a bit
- Cut into this flaky goodness and do your best not to devour the entire thing in one sitting.
Love you much!
