How to make Salmon and Cheese Stuffed Puff Pastry:
Remove the puff pastry from the refrigerator with time to acquire room temperature. We can buy the dough already made, or prepare our own homemade puff pastry following this simple recipe.
Trick: Preheat the oven to the temperature indicated on the puff pastry package or, if it is homemade, to 180ºC.
We put the griddle on the fire, heat a little oil and pass the slices of salmon. The fish does not need to be cooked inside, since it will just be baked in the oven later. Then, with our hands, we crumble the salmon and the feta cheese. Mix these ingredients in a bowl, spread out the puff pastry sheet and fill, distributing the mixture evenly throughout the dough.
We roll up the stuffed puff pastry as if we wanted to make a Swiss roll. Then, with our fingers, we seal the edges to prevent the salmon and cheese filling from coming out, and we paint the surface with the beaten egg. Then sprinkle dill on top.
Bake the salmon and cheese puff pastry for 10-12 minutes, or until we see that it is golden. Remove from the oven, let it cool and serve.
That easy! As you can see, with these simple steps we can make a salmon cake with cheese that could perfectly pass as a gourmet recipe. If we have a meal with friends or a family gathering and we want to surprise with an innovative dish full of flavor, this stuffed puff pastry is ideal.
