Equipment

  • 1 Large Stovetop Pan
  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Wooden Spatula
  • Parchment Paper
  • 1 Chopping Knife
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Small Bowl
  • 1 fork
  • 1 Spoon

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 leek diced
  • 1-2 large whole carrots diced
  • ¼ cup heavy cream or milk & cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp shredded cheese use your preferred cheese
  • 1 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 1 fillet salmon
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp water
  • dill diced
  • salt & pepper

Instructions

  • Using your cutting knife and cutting board, be sure to dice your leek and carrots, Then mince your garlic. Next, melt your butter in your stovetop pan.
  • Add in your diced leek, carrots, and minced garlic. Cook on low heat until soft. Should take about 15 minutes.
  • Add in your heavy cream and sprinkle in a dash of diced dill, salt & pepper. Mix together and let the mixture simmer for a couple minutes.
  • After a few minutes, remove the stovetop pan from heat and add in your shredded cheese. Give it a quick stir, and then set aside to cool.
  • Preheat your oven to 375℉. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Grab your puff pastry dough and roll it out on a floured surface. You want to make a rectangle shape out of the dough, long ways horizontal. Sprinkle some diced dill weed around the dough.
  • Next, place your salmon fillet in the center of the dough rectangle, with the length of the fish placed horizontally.
  • Using your wooden spatula from your stovetop mixture, scoop the stovetop vegetable content onto the salmon fillet until the entire fillet is covered.
  • Grab the sides of the puff pastry rectangle and fold it over the salmon fillet and vegetables. I suggest started with the long sides first, and then fold the shorter sides inwards, like you're wrapping a gift. Pinch the corners.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine your egg with 1 tbsp of water and mix with a fork. This is your egg wash.
  • Brush the pastry with the egg wash (can use a food brush or a spoon). Then flip the pastry over and lightly score the dough with your knife. Add more egg wash on this side of the pastry and add a final garnish of chopped dill.
  • Place on parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
