Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

When I think about preparing and devouring Salmon En Croute it honestly gives me so much joy. It is so unassuming because every ingredient ends up being wrapped up tightly amidst all of that flaky dough, but when you take the first bite your palette is hit with a myriad of flavors that is really gratifying.

Each layer is a new experience. I would compare the process of making this dish to watching a really good movie. Each step builds on the next and when you get to the finale you’re so delighted. As a result, a masterpiece has been created. Because each step requires specific attention to detail, the instructions have been listed as such.

ASSEMBLY: Lay out the puff pastry onto a baking pan and pull each side gently so that the dough will fit over your piece of salmon. Next, you will need to spread the bottom layer out in an even layer on top of the dough. Place the seasoned salmon on top. After this, spread the top layer out evenly on the salmon. Lastly, bring all sides of the dough together and roll or pinch them so that they do not separate. Immediately put in the oven to bake

ENJOY!!!
