For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a thin layer of pesto or a smear of sun-dried tomato paste under the spinach. Ensure the puff pastry is cold when assembling to prevent it from becoming sticky and difficult to work with. Use a sharp serrated knife to slice the salmon en croûte for clean, even portions. Serve with a crisp green salad or roasted asparagus for a complete and elegant meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Elements: Gather all ingredients and have them measured and ready to go. (5 minutes)
02
StepSauté Aromatics: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic; cook until the mushrooms release their moisture and soften, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. (15 minutes)
03
StepWilt the Spinach: Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the same skillet. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Gently squeeze out any excess moisture. Transfer to a separate bowl. (10 minutes)
04
StepPrepare for Assembly: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
05
StepAssemble the Croûte: Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Unfold one sheet of puff pastry. Spread the mushroom mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Place the salmon fillet in the center of the pastry. Sprinkle the salmon with smoked paprika and top with the wilted spinach. (10 minutes)
06
StepSeal and Glaze: Cover with the second sheet of puff pastry. Fold over and crimp the edges to seal tightly. You can use a fork to create a decorative pattern. Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg. This will give it a beautiful golden sheen. (10 minutes)
07
StepBake to Perfection: Transfer the assembled salmon en croûte to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is golden brown and the salmon is cooked through, about 40-45 minutes. (45 minutes)
08
StepRest and Slice: Let the salmon en croûte rest for a few minutes before slicing into portions. This allows the juices to redistribute. (5 minutes)
09
StepPrepare the Lemon-Dill Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and dill until smooth and creamy. (5 minutes)
10
StepServe: Spoon the lemon-dill sauce onto plates and place a slice of salmon en croûte on each. Serve immediately and enjoy!
