How to prepare salmon in the crust: the procedure
Preparing salmon in puff pastry is easy and takes about 50 minutes. First, clean the spinach and heat the extra virgin olive oil in a pan with a lightly crushed garlic clove. Add the spinach, season with salt and pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes. Remove the garlic clove and add the toasted pine nuts. Salt and pepper the salmon fillet and fry it on both sides in a pan with oil. Prepare the puff pastry by rolling it out to form a square 2 millimeters thick. Cut a strip slightly wider than the salmon fillet, place it on a sheet of baking paper and prick it with a fork.
Whisk the egg and brush the dough corners with it. Place the salmon on the dough, cover with spinach and pine nuts and cover with another strip of puff pastry. Seal the sides tightly, cut off the excess dough and make a few small incisions on the surface. Brush with egg and bake in the oven at 200 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Bon appetit!
