Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 200g goat cheese, crumbled
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 400g salmon fillets (skinless)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (like dill or parsley) for garnish
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 1/8 inch thick. Cut it into four equal squares.
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
- Place a portion of the crumbled goat cheese in the center of each pastry square. Top with a salmon fillet and drizzle with a tablespoon of honey.
- Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create a pocket, pressing the edges together to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
- Beat the egg and brush it over the top of each pastry to give it a golden color when baked.
- Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.
