Savory Salmon Puff Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Combine smoked salmon, feta cheese, black pepper and garlic.
• Roll out puff pastry on lightly floured surface to form a 12x12 inch sheet. Cut sheet into 16 3x3-inch squares. Place a spoonful of salmon filling in the center of each square. Pull together corners of each square to form 16 small packets. Brush packets with egg whites and place on prepared baking sheets. (The puffs can be frozen at this point. See Editor's Note.)
• Bake in preheated oven until pastry is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the softened cream cheese and mayo.
• Add in salmon, lemon juice (if using) bell pepper, olives, celery, green onion and dill; mix well to combine.
• Season with seasoning salt and pepper.
• Cover and chill overnight.
• Set oven to 400 degree.
• Place one thawed pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface; roll out to a 12x10-inch rectangle.
• Transfer to a lightly greased baking sheet.
• Brush the edges of the sheet with egg.
• Spread the salmon mixture over the pastry up to 1-inch from edges.
• Roll the second sheet out to the same size as the first sheet.
• Place over the filling, matching the edges and crimp to seal.
• Score the top of pastry diagonally in both directions at 1-inch intervals.
• Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until deep golden brown.
• Cut into slices with a serrated knife and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• In a pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add the garlic and onions, cooking until translucent.
• Add the spinach, salt, and pepper, cooking until spinach is wilted.
• Add the breadcrumbs, cream cheese, parmesan, and dill, stirring until mixture is evenly combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
• On a cutting board, smooth out the sheet of puff pastry. Place the salmon in the middle of the pastry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Place several spoonfuls of the spinach mixture on top of the salmon, smoothing it out so that it does not spill over the sides.
• Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the salmon and spinach, starting with the longer sides and then the shorter ends. Trim any excess pastry from the ends, then fold the ends on top. Flip the puff pastry-wrapped salmon over and transfer for a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Brush the beaten egg on the top and sides of the pastry. Score the top of the pastry with a knife, cutting shallow diagonal lines to create a crosshatch pattern.
• Brush the top again with the egg wash.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, until pastry is golden brown.
• Slice, then serve!
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk and soup; stir in remaining ingredients. , Pour into a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. Bake 50 minutes or until set. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray. In small bowl, stir Bisquick mix, milk, sour cream, dill weed and eggs with wire whisk until blended. Gently stir in salmon and cheese. Pour into pie plate.
• Bake uncovered 35 to 40 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.

Steps:

• For the salmon: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Heat the oil in a heavy saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook until translucent and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until the liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and wilt for 4 minutes. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Let cool.
• Dust a flat working surface with flour. Using a rolling pin, roll out the sheets of puff pastry into 1/4-inch thickness (each 12 by 12 inches). Put the pastry sheets side-by-side so they overlap slightly, by about 1/2 inch. Brush the overlapping strip with the beaten egg, stick both sheets together at the strip and seal with a fork. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Spoon the cooled mushroom-spinach mixture over one side of the puff pastry rectangle. To make an even rectangle out of the salmon fillet, you can cut the top portion off of the belly and add it to the tail part. Place the fillet over the mushroom-spinach mixture. Season the salmon heavily with salt and pepper. Fold the other side of the rectangle over the filling and seal by brushing the edge with egg wash and crimping as you would a pie crust (you can use a fork; I crimped like a pie crust with my fingers). Fold the remaining 2 open edges of pastry under the salmon fillet. Brush everything with the egg wash.
• Bake until the puff pastry is crisp and golden in color, 25 minutes. Let stand for about 8 minutes before slicing.
• For the dill sauce: Put the clam juice in a heavy saucepot and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and reduce to 1/2 cup. Add the Mexican crema and heavy cream and reduce to 1 cup. Add the flour and whisk while boiling until thickened. Add the dill and season with salt and pepper.
• Slice the salmon into 1 1/4 to 1 1/2-inch slices. Serve immediately with the dill sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F with a rack in the center. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Lightly flour a work surface and gently unfold the puff pastry dough. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a 10-by-12-inch rectangle. Score a 1-inch border along all four sides with a sharp knife then prick the area inside the border all over with a fork. This allows steam to release and a rim to rise around the tart.
• Transfer the puff pastry to the prepared baking sheet and bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until golden brown and puffy, about 18 minutes total. Remove the pastry from the baking sheet and allow it to cool on a cutting board or wire rack for 10 minutes. (see Cook's Note)
• While the pastry is baking, whip the cream cheese, yogurt, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Fold in the capers, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons chopped dill and 2 tablespoons chopped chives and set aside.
• Just before serving, evenly spread the cream cheese filling over the baked pastry with an offset spatula, leaving the 1-inch border exposed. Arrange the smoked salmon and cucumber on top and sprinkle the tart with the dill fronds, remaining 1 tablespoon chives and some black pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. On a lightly floured surface, roll each pastry sheet into a 12x10-in. rectangle. Cut each into two 10x6-in. rectangles. Place a salmon fillet in the center of each rectangle. , Beat egg and water; lightly brush over pastry edges. Bring opposite corners of pastry over each fillet; pinch seams to seal tightly. Place seam side down in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan; brush with remaining egg mixture. , Bake until pastry is golden brown, 25-30 minutes. In a small bowl, combine the cucumber, sour cream, mayonnaise, dill and salt. Serve with bundles.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Season the salmon fillets with salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Divide 1/2 of the spinach between two sheets of puff pastry, and mound in the center. Place a salmon fillet on top of each mound of spinach. Spread the pesto on the salmon fillets, and top with remaining spinach. Moisten the edges of the puff pastry with water, fold to the center, and seal the seams.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden, and the salmon has cooked all the way through.

Steps:

• Heat oil in deep fryer or in deep heavy saucepan until hot but not smoking.
• In a bowl, separate salmon with a fork.
• Add flour, egg, parsley, salt,lemon juice, and black pepper.
• Mix thoroughly.
• Add baking powder to 1/4 c. milk and with a fork beat until foamy
• Pour this mixture into salmon and mix until well blended.
• Using 2 teaspoons, scoop up mixture with one spoon and with the other spoon, slide mixture into the hot oil.
• The puffs will cook quickly and are done as soon as they are brown.
• Remove puffs from oil with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain.
• Serve immediately with tartar sauce or cocktail sauce.
